Em Once upon a time there was a girl E In her early years she had to learn Em How to grow up living in a war that she called home E Never knew just where to turn for shelter from the storm Em Hurt me to see the pain across my mother's face E Every time my father's fist would put her in her place Em Hearing all the yelling, I would cry up in my room E
Hoping it would be over soon C Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same C And I still remember how you kept me so afraid C Strength is my mother for all the love she gave Am And every morning that I wake I look back at yesterday and I'm okay Em I often wonder why I've carried all this guilt E When it's you that helped me put up all these walls I've built Em Shadows stir at night through a crack in the door E The echo of a broken child screaming "please, no more" Em Daddy don't you understand the damage you have done? E For you it's just a memory, but for me it still lives on C Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same C And I still remember how you kept me so afraid C Strength is my mother for all the love she gave Am And every morning that I wake I look back at yesterday and I'm okay Em It's not so easy to forget E All the marks you left along her neck Em When I was thrown against cold stairs E And everyday afraid to come home, Em In fear of what I might see there C Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same C And I still remember how you kept me so afraid C Strength is my mother for all the love she gave Am And every morning that I wake I look back at yesterday and I'm okay Visit my Youtube channel - CumboJosii997
