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've 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 you gave
Every morning that I wake I look back at yesterday
And I'm ok

I'm ok
