Christina Aguilara I'm Ok lyrics

Christina Aguilara
Stripped
I'm Ok
Once upon a time there was a girl in her early years she had to learn how to grow up living in a world that she called nevr knowing just where to turn to shelter from the storm hurt me to see the pain acroos 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'll be over soon
Bruises fade father but the pain remains the same and I still remember how you kept so afraid strength is my mother for all the love she gave and every morning that i wake i look back on yesterday and I'm ok
I often wonder why i carry all this guilt when its you that help me put all these walls i've built shadows stir at night through a crack in the door the echoes of a broken child screaming "please no more"Daddy don't you understand the damage you have done for you its 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 pray i look back on yesterday and i'm still ok.

Its not so easy to forget all the marks you left along her neck When i was thrown against cold stairs and every day 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 and I still remember how you kept me so afraid strength is my mother for alll the love she gave and evry morning i wake i look back on yesterday and i'm ok.
i'm ok
