Daddy please
(Little Girl Crying)
You´re My Good Girl...
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 know just where to turn for shelter from the storm
Hurt me to see the pain across my mother´s face
Everytime 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
I still remember how you kept me so afraid
The strength is my mother, for all the love she gave
Every morning that I wake, I look back at yesterday
And I´m Ok

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 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
Every morning that I wake, I look back at yesterday
And I´m ok
Mmhmm
I´m okay
