At the age of 11, Tory discovered that his mother was ill with a rare disease that affects four in every one million people. With the devastating loss of his mother and the absence of this father who is an ordained minister, Tory was forced to provide for himself at the early age of fourteen. Although his dad was not present in his everyday life, once when he was 16 years old he offered 10K if Drake listened and didn't like his music, that's how much he believed in himself. Tory Lanez is currently serving 23 years in jail for the July 2020 shooting of fellow rapper Megan Thee Stallion in the foot. Tory's most recent project, PETERSON, released on March 7, 2025 and was recorded from prison.

I've lost my love, I'm sad (so sad)
She's found someone who's better (who's better than me)
Takes you to every party, just to dance and dance again
I can click my feet, I can snap my hands
And you're still not back again

Gave you all my love
It didn't do it for you, babe (no, it didn't do it for you, babe)
Gave you all my love
It didn't do it for you, babe (ooh, nothin', yeah)
And this pain inside my heart will fade away (I know)

Why does it hurt so bad? (Oh)
Why does it hurt so bad? (Damn, it hurt so bad)
Down inside my heart, it makes me sad, I know (it makes me sad)
Why does it hurt so bad? (Oh)
Why does it hurt so bad? (Oh, woah, why does it hurt so bad?)
Why does it hurt so bad? (Why does it hurt so bad?)
Down inside my heart, it makes me sad, I know (it makes me sad)
Why does it hurt so bad? (Oh, no, oh)
Why does it hurt so bad?

I sit in my room thinkin' I wanna be your lover
But I've been rejected so bad
I just sat down every party and watched you laugh and laugh again
While I click my feet and I snap my hand
'Cause you're just not back again (no)

Gave you all my love
It didn't do it for you, babe (no, it didn't do it for you, babe)
Gave you all my love
It didn't do it for you, babe (ooh, nothin', yeah)
And this pain inside my heart will fade away (I know)
Why does it hurt so bad? (Oh, yeah)
Why does it hurt so bad? (Ooh, yeah, it hurt so)
Down inside my heart, it makes me sad, I know (it makes me sad)
Why does it hurt so bad? (Oh, I need somethin' to stop this pain)
Why does it hurt so bad? (So bad, yeah)
Why does it hurt so bad? (Oh-woah, woah, ooh-woah)
Down inside my heart, it makes me sad, I know (it makes me sad)
Why does it hurt so bad? (Ooh-woah, woah, oh, woah)
Why does it hurt so bad?

You the girl that I love, be my woman
It' somethin' 'bout that girl, I want her to be my lover
See somethin' 'bout this girl, I want her to be my woman
She wanna dance nonstop, she's tired of it

Bang! Bang! @ French Montana 😂

@erich1380

I mean HotNewHipHop really helped him get going at the start. I'm pretty sure he paid them to promote him. Most of us long time fans heard about him through it

@karlaujo

@@erich1380 i found him through Nostalgic Jams, that channel has all the old Tory gems on it

I just know we have all tried something so simple to get that person back .. but it never worked and it just makes us cry even more 😭😞

@morgaholic

I actually think this is one of Tory's greatest songs. This guy deserves his roses.
