I'm Ok
(Christina Aguilera E Linda Perry)
Once upon a time there was a girl
In her early 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 hurts 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
Strenght 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 stir at night trough a crack in the door
Echoes of broken child screaming please no more
Daddy don't you understand the damage 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
Strenght is my mother for all the love she gave
And every morning that I pray I look back to yesterday
It's not so easy to forget, all the mark you left along her neck
When I was thrown against cold stairs
And everyday afraid to come home in fear of what I might see,next
Chorus
