I'm ok Songtext / Lyric

Once upon a time there was a girl
In her early years she had to learn
How to grow up living in a war that she called
home
Never knew just where to turn for shelter from
the storm
It hurt me to see the pain cross my mother's
face
Every time my father's fist would put her in
her place
Hearing all the yelling I would cry up in my room
Hoping it would be over soon

Chorus:
Bruises fade father but the pain remains the
same
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
Strength is my mother for all the love she gave
And every morning that I wake I look back at
yesterday
And I'm OK

I often wonder why I carry all this guilt
When it's you that helped me put up all these
walls I've built
Shadows stear at night through a crack in the
door
Echoes of a broken child screaming please no
more
Daddy don't you understand the damage you
have done
For you it's just a memory but for me it still
lives on

Bruises fade father but the pain remains the
same
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
Strength is my mother for all the love she
gave
Every morning that I wake I look back at
yesterday

It's not so easy to forget all the marks you left
along her neck
When I was thrown against cold stairs
And every day afraid to come home in fear of
what I might see next

Chorus
