AmOnce upon a time there was a girl Em  
AmIn her early years she had to learn E  
FHow to grow up living in a war that she called homeEm  
FNever knew just where to turn for shelter from the stormE  
AmHurt me to see the pain across my mother's faceEm  
FEvery time my father's fist would put her in her placeE  
FHearing all the yelling, I would cry up in my room Em  
AmHoping it would be over soEon 
FBruises fade father, but the pain remains the same C  
FAnd I still remember how you kept me so afraid C  
FStrength is my mother for all the love she gave C  
FAnd every morning that I wake I look back at yesterday Am  
and I'm okay 
AmI often wonder why I've carried all this guilEmt 
AmWhen it's you that helped me put up all thEese walls I've built 
FShadows stir at night through a crack in thEme door 
FThe echo of a broken child screaming "please, no Emore" 
FDaddy don't you understand the damage you have Emdone? 
FFor you it's just a memory, but for me it still Elives on 
FBruises fade father, but the pain remains the same C  
FAnd I still remember how you kept me so afraid C  
FStrength is my mother for all the love she gave C  
FAnd every morning that I wake I look back at yesterday Am  
and I'm okay 
FIt's not so easy to foEmrget 
FAll the marks you left along Eher neck 
FWhen I was thrown against cold staiEmrs 
FAnd everyday afraid to come home, E  
FIn fear of what I might see there Em  
FBruises fade father, but the pain remains the same C  
FAnd I still remember how you kept me so afraid C  
FStrength is my mother for all the love she gave C  
FAnd every morning that I wake I look back at yesterday Am  
and I'm okay
