As I stand here all alone,
shoulders shudder in my cold
Hid my bruises, hid my secrets
in my heart for too long
Well, I'm standing on my own
Your house never was my home
That was yesterday,
and memories don't fade away

There's a picture on the wall,
Father's arms around his daughter
She pleads, "Father, Daddy, when will you be a man?"?
Be a man A man

When you kicked me down the stairs,
to my haven underground
Said I wasn't worth
the dirt under your fingernails
When you said you wanted more,
then you labeled me a whore
And these days forget,
but nothing mutes the wound inside!

There's a picture on the wall,
Father's arms around his daughter
Her eyes brim with tears,
but smile to hide the hate inside her heart
There's a picture on the wall,
Daddy's arms around his Princess
She pleads, "Daddy, go away!"?
Away, away
Dearest, Daddy's gone away
Take me away!

There's a picture on the floor,
broken glass shards in my toes
My blood stains the carpet,
my bloodstain's a memory
There's a picture on the floor,
broken glass rings through my soul,
Dad, these scars won't fade away!
