Once upon a time there was a girl |
| [00:45.61] |
In her early years she had to learn |
| [00:53.61] |
How to grow up living in a war that she called home |
| [01:02.53] |
Never know just where to turn for shelter from the storm |
| [01:11.09] |
Hurt me to see the pain across my mother's face |
| [01:19.85] |
Everytime my father's fist would put her in her place |
| [01:28.71] |
Hearing all the yelling I would cry up in my room |
| [01:37.34] |
Hoping it would be over soon |
| [01:43.99] |
|
| [01:46.15] |
Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same |
| [01:53.67] |
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid |
| [02:01.34] |
Strength is my mother for all the love she gave |
| [02:07.72] |
Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday |
| [02:19.06] |
And I'm OK |
| [02:21.12] |
|
| [02:29.74] |
I often wonder why I carry all this guilt |
| [02:38.14] |
When it's you that helped me put up all these walls I've built |
| [02:46.33] |
Shadows stir at night through a crack in the door |
| [02:54.41] |
The echo of a broken child screaming "please no more" |
| [03:02.99] |
Daddy, don't you understand the damage you have done |
| [03:11.13] |
To you it's just a memory, but for me it still lives on |
| [03:18.97] |
|
| [03:19.83] |
Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same |
| [03:27.29] |
And I still remember how you kept me so, so afraid |
| [03:34.78] |
Strength is my mother for all the love she gave |
| [03:41.00] |
Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday |
| [03:49.34] |
|
| [03:53.60] |
It's not so easy to forget |
| [04:01.11] |
All the lines you left along her neck |
| [04:08.44] |
When I was thrown against cold stairs |
| [04:15.89] |
And every day I'm afraid to come home |
| [04:20.30] |
In fear of what I might see there |
| [04:26.32] |
|
| [04:27.63] |
Bruises fade father but the pain remains the same |
| [04:34.78] |
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid |
| [04:42.05] |
Strength is my mother for all the love you gave |
| [04:48.14] |
Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday |
| [04:59.10] |
And I'm OK |
| [05:03.41] |
|
| [05:09.13] |
I'm OK |
| [05:11.03] |
|
