I'm Ok Lyrics - Christina Aguilera - Christina Aguilera

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 

It 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 

The 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 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 echoes 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 

The 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 next 

Bruises fade, father, but the pain remains the same 

And I still remember how you kept me so afraid 

The strength is my mother for all the love you gave 

And every morning that I wake, I look back on yesterday 

And I'm okay 

I'm okay
