Christina Aguilera Lyrics
"I'm
OK"
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 know just where to turn for shelter from the storm
Hurt
me to see the pain across my mother's face
Everytime 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
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
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 through a crack in the door
The echo of a broken child screaming
"please no more"
Daddy, don't you understand the damage you have
done
To 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, 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 I'm afraid to come home
In fear of what I might
see there
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 you gave
Every morning that I wake I look back at yesterday
And
I'm OK
I'm OK
