Dearest — текст песни (One True Thing)

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!
