The Healing

Since I was young enough to remember I was never good enough for you And as hard as I tried to prove myself There was just no good that I could do Through the beatings and beratings I just became a stain upon a family name. And the wall around my heart grew so high That I just buried all the hurt and pain And one day I found someone who loved me And I didn't know how it's supposed to feel And she helped wash away the scars inside To where I finally felt alive and real I know longer wake up screaming Fighting off the memories of your ghost I sleep more peaceful now Knowing I'm surrounded by those who love me most This heart is like fragile China And I've seen it shattered on the floor But ever since I've forgiven the monster The monster can't touch me anymore There's freedom in forgiveness that washes away all pain And this heart can learn to feel what it's like to love again .
