When Love and Hate Collide Lyrics

You could have a change of heart, if you would only change your mind Instead of slamming down the phone girl, for the hundredth time I got your number on my wall, but I ain't gonna make that call When divided we stand baby, united we fall Got the time got a chance gonna make it Got my hands on your heart gonna take it All I know I can't fight this flame You could have a change of heart, if you would only change your mind Cause I'm crazy 'bout you baby, time after time Without you One night alone Is like a year without you baby Do you have a heart of stone Without you Can't stop the hurt inside When love and hate collide I don't wanna fight no more, I don't know what we're fighting for When we treat each other baby, like an act of war I could tell a million lies and it would come as no surprise When the truth is like a stranger, hits you right between the eyes There's a time and a place and a reason And I know I got a love to believe in All I know got to win this time [Repeat Chorus] [SOLO] You could have a change of heart, if you would only change your mind Cause I'm crazy 'bout you baby...Crazy...Crazy Without you One night alone Is like a year without you baby Do you have a heart of stone Without you One night alone Is like a year without you baby If you have a heart at all Without you Can't stop the hurt inside When love and hate collide

The song builds to a chaotic climax with the imagery of "treating each other like an act of war," representing the devastating impact of their arguments. Ultimately, it's a raw expression of pain and confusion, revealing a profound sense of loss and a yearning for connection before the “love and hate” irrevocably collide, leaving the singer trapped in a cycle of hurt and uncertainty.
