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 Visit my Youtube channel - CumboJosii997 This tab was made by me, copyrighted.
