Broken Roots
(humm, mmm)
When grandmother passed, the walls fell down
The family scattered
out of this town
My mother walked out
when I was only eight
Said she didn't want this,
left me to my fate (oh-oh-oh)
I can't forgive
the scars she left behind
She hurt me deep,
locked inside my mind
My heart stays broken
until the day I die
But this pain made me who I am tonight (yeah,
who I am tonight)
She closed the door
and didn't look back
Left a little kid walking on a broken track
Years of heavy silence,
years of carrying the stone
Learning how to stand up when you're all alone
I can't forgive
the scars she left behind
She hurt me deep,
locked inside my mind
My heart stays broken
until the day I die
But this pain made me who I am tonight
(who I am tonight)
Everything I went through
led me here today
The person that I've grown to,
the words I have to say (mmm,
still broken, but standing)
