Currently Listening Gemstones By Adam Green see related

Once upon a time there was a girl
In her early years she had to learn
How to grow up living with a remind that she never can forget
Never know just where to turn for shelter from the things back
Hurt her to go back and see the place
Every time her tears run down her face
In the nights sometimes she would cry up in her room
Hoping it would be over soon

Bruises fade but the pain remains the same
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
Strength is maybe my meed for all the fear you gave
Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday
And I'm OK

I often wonder why I carry 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"
Man, don't you understand the damage you have done
To you it's just a bad memory, but for me it still lives on

Bruises fade but the pain remains the same
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
Strength is maybe my meed for all the fear you gave
Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday

And I’m OK

It's not so easy to forget
And when I’m lying in my bed
I often have to think of it
Though actually I just want to forget
Afraid of another nightmare

But now I don’t care

Bruises fade but the pain remains the same
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
Strength is maybe my meed for all the fear you gave
Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday
And I'm OK
I'm OK
