They cry in the dark
So you can't see their tears
They hide in the light
So you can't see their fears
Forgive and forget
All the while
Love and pain become one and the same
In the eyes of a wounded childBecause hell, hell is for children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell, hell is for children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love
With your bones and your fleshIt's all so confusing this brutal abusing
They blacken your eyes and then apologize
Be daddy's good girl, and don't tell mommy a thing
Be a good little boy, and you'll get a new toy
Tell grandma you fell from the swingBecause hell, hell is for children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell, hell is for children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love
With your bones and your fleshNo, hell is for childrenHell, hell is for hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for childrenHell, hell is for hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for childrenHell, hell is for hell
Hell is for hell
Hell is for childrenHell is for children
Hell is for children
