paroles de chanson BATTERED AND SCARRED - ZEPHYR

When I was a young boy
My father told me to be strong
But if he saw the lines on my arms
He'd call me all the names under the sun
Is that a way to speak to your son?
(Is it?)

Tell me why I'm broken
Why I can't be alone in my mind
Tell me what I did to deserve
Your words that would scar me
And mold me into the man I am
You left me there, bettered and scarred
Oh

Now I'm older, and I see
All the shit you did to me
It wasn't my fault, it never was
Killing softly, trading blows
A past I wish I didn't know

Mama always told you to stop
While I was screaming out at the top of my lungs
How could you tell me I deserved all of the pain
Beating me down til' I forgot my name
(STOP IT!)

Tell me why I'm broken
Why I can't be alone in my mind
Tell me what I did to deserve all
Your words that would scar me
And mold me into the man I am
You left me there, bettered and scarred
Oooh
Battered and scarred
Hmmm
