When I was young
It’s always lonely
I was so mad
Dad never heard me
Brought mom a trophy
Finally they’re proud of me
School was the best
Got lovers and friends
Some days were bad
Got a lot in my head
When I got home
I’ve got no one to share with

But I don’t blame it all on you
I was young and I needed you

Time to time
I didn't understand
Why he acted tough
Screaming and controlling
Time to time
I was trying to find a home
Hoping Mama
Would hug me and say it’s okay
Say it’s okay
Say it’s okay
That’s what I needed the most

Some days I didn’t feel okay
Got everything
When I needed something else
Unknown of my worth
I need a place where I feel safe
From the cruelty of world
I was young and I was afraid
Of how you would see me

Time to time
I didn't understand
Why he acted tough
Screaming and controlling
Time to time
I was trying to find a home
Hoping Mama
Would hug me and say it’s okay

As I grow older
I finally understand, it’s not easy to do your hardest task
And I know
You both have done your best
Thank you for the love
You've put on my chess
So it’s okay
So it’s okay
I understand even more
So it’s okay
So it’s okay
