Chords with lyrics
Bm Bm
Bm B
In her early years she had to learn
G Bm
How to grow up living in a war that she called home
G B
Never knew just where to turn for shelter from the storm
Bm Bm
Hurt me to see the pain across my mother's face
G B
Every time my father's fist would put her in her place
G Bm
Hearing all the yelling, I would cry up in my room
Bm B
Hoping it would be over soon
G G
Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same
G G
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
G G
Strength is my mother for all the love she gave
G Bm
And every morning that I wake I look back at yesterday
and I'm okay
Bm Bm
I often wonder why I've carried all this guilt
Bm B
When it's you that helped me put up all these walls I've built
G Bm
Shadows stir at night through a crack in the door
G B
The echo of a broken child screaming "please, no more"
G Bm
Daddy don't you understand the damage you have done?
G B
For you it's just a memory, but for me it still lives on
G G
Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same
G G
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
G G
Strength is my mother for all the love she gave
G Bm
And every morning that I wake I look back at yesterday
and I'm okay
G Bm
It's not so easy to forget
G B
All the marks you left along her neck
G Bm
When I was thrown against cold stairs
G B
And everyday afraid to come home,
G Bm
In fear of what I might see there
G G
Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same
G G
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
G G
Strength is my mother for all the love she gave
G Bm
And every morning that I wake I look back at yesterday
and I'm okay
