Song 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

So sincere, so personal.. great. I love this song. I haven't listened to it in a couple years... until just now. And it's just as powerful now. Love it.

A really beautiful song that I've missed.
I just keep bothering on how strain Christina is singing, as if she's not enjoying singing this song at all. It has potential, but it's not a song you should be listening too carefull at.

i was watching something about her a little while back and it shows her recording this song and she was crying for basiclly thing. it was really hard for her to finish the track. it kinda stung insides me a bit. it just reminded me about how my dad left. and how much it hurts someone to live with someone who never cares about you. even though my father never hit me like christina's. but i still know what its like to feel like your own father doesnt care about you.

This song used to make me sad, and I used it for a Grade 9 project. Haha. It's good though.

i though i posted on this song already, but i guess i didn't i relate to this song completely, my dad used to hit my mom and my sis, bro and sometimes me. but i couldnt find stregnth in my mom, becuz she only thought of herself. the pain from it never goes away, i will never forget the marks on her neck, being thrown into a wall, or having a gun held to her head. my dad had to ruin are lives because he decided to do drugs...but i forgive him. im okay

Makes me shed tears everytime. An extremely personal song yet many can relate to it, even those who haven't been through this kind of ordeal.

This is my favourite song off all of her albums! Personally I can really relate to it! I cry everytime I listen to it ! The lyrics are so deep and in graphic.
I think she is such an amazing woman, I have always loved her ever since the beginning! I read in an interview with her in a magazine that she did actually start crying in the recording of this song.
Christina I love you so much, you are such an inspiration to me and lot's of other woman. Keep up the amazing work hun !!
