Lyrics

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, 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!
