Contradiction Lyrics - Singles - The Kinleys

Joel was her only son 

Trouble was his way of having fun 

With the wrong crowd 

He was heading for kingdom come 

What should a mother do 

She'll have to let go to get through 

If she could she'd send him away for his own good 

It's such a contradiction 

To love someone enough to walk away 

The curse of benediction 

Is the pain that just won't go away 

La la la la 

It's such a contradiction 

Penny was just sixteen 

Answering someone else's dream 

With her child 

'Cause they had what she couldn't provide 

What should a mother do 

She had to let go to get through 

If she could she wouldn't do what's for his own good 

It's such a contradiction 

To love someone enough to walk away 

The curse of benediction 

Is the pain that just won't go away 

La la la la 

It's such a contradiction
