Yeah… This one is for everybody living behind closed doors, where nobody hears the crying… where love was supposed to live, but fear moved in. [Verse 1] A fist ain’t love, and a threat ain’t care, If you’re scared in your home, something ain’t fair. Words turn to yelling, yelling turns to pain, Pain turns to violence, then somebody’s life can change. It starts with control, “Where you been? Who you with?” Then the jealousy grows and the arguments hit. One shove, one slap—then the line gets crossed, And before anybody knows it, somebody gets lost. Don’t call it passion when somebody’s afraid, Don’t call it love when somebody gets blamed. God gave us hearts—we’re supposed to protect, Not destroy the person we promised respect. [Hook — powerful, melodic] Love wasn’t made to hurt you, Love wasn’t made to make you cry. God put two hearts together, Not for one to make the other die. Hold her up when she’s falling, Stand beside him when he’s weak. Love should bring us closer to God, Not put fear inside the home we seek. Love wasn’t made to hurt you… Love was made to heal. [Verse 2] Scripture talks about the woman from the rib, Not beneath the man—right beside him where she lives. A picture of connection, partnership and trust, Not domination, not violence, not turning love to dust. And men, if you’re angry, walk away and breathe, Don’t let one moment become a lifetime of grief. Put the weapon down, step outside the room, Pray before your anger brings somebody’s life to ruin. And women, you don’t have to stay where you’re harmed, You deserve safety, dignity, protection and calm. Love doesn’t mean accepting somebody’s abuse, And asking for help isn’t weakness—it’s choosing life over losing you. [Hook] Love wasn’t made to hurt you, Love wasn’t made to make you cry. God put two hearts together, Not for one to make the other die. Hold her up when she’s falling, Stand beside him when he’s weak. Love should bring us closer to God, Not put fear inside the home we seek. [Bridge — stripped down, piano + heartbeat] Before the slap… stop. Before the punch… stop. Before the threat becomes a crime… stop. Before anger becomes a funeral… stop. Pray. Walk away. Get help. Protect the innocent. Because tomorrow isn’t promised. [Final Verse — stronger delivery] I’ve seen what happens when the anger takes control, When somebody’s body gets hurt and somebody’s soul Starts breaking down from the words and the pain, Living every single day underneath the weight. But God can break cycles that families have known, He can bring healing where the hurt has grown. Accountability matters—don’t hide what you did, Get help for the anger, protect the women and kids. And if you’re the victim, hear this tonight: You are worth protecting, you deserve your life. You are not someone’s punching bag, not someone’s possession, Your life has value—God knows your worth and your direction. [Final Hook — choir behind lead] Love wasn’t made to hurt you, Love wasn’t made to make you cry. God put two hearts together, Not for one to make the other die. Love should be protection, Love should be respect. Love should bring us closer to Heaven, Not leave somebody living in regret. [Outro — spoken] If there’s violence in your home, don’t wait until somebody dies. Get somewhere safe. Reach out. Tell somebody. Get professional help. And if you’re the one doing the hurting— stop making excuses. Get help. Change. Because God didn’t create love so we could destroy each other. Love should protect. Love should respect. Love should heal. Love was never meant to hurt.
