Aguilera Christina I M Ok lyrics

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 to 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 to yesterday

It`s not so easy to forget
All the lines 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 she gave
Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday
And I`m OK
I`m OK
