Christina Aguilera - 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 knew just where to turn for shelter from the storm 
Hurt me to see the pain across my mother's face 
Every time 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
And every morning that I wake I look back at yesterday 
And I'm okay

I often wonder why I've carried 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?
For 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 at yesterday 

It's not so easy to forget
All the marks you left along her neck 
When I was thrown against cold stairs 
And everyday 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 okay
Mm
I'm okay
