This is a really good song of Christine Aguilera.
In general, this song it's about maltreatment and violence.
This song says and relate the life of a little girl, the pain and the form she can live with her father, because he was a man , a bad husband and a bad person, that maltreatment her mother.
She thinks how can live, how can stay good, how can forget the past and live the present, why she had the fault when in reality the father is the responsible of all of this facts, ...Why she thinks that?
Each day , she lives the same moments and she can´t forget their problems, why her father does that thing, why her mother was the victim...
The same everyday...
The song says that girl go to her room just for cry and feel the responsible of all fights.
THE VIOLENCE IS BAD , BAD, ONLY DO HURTS
IN YOUR HEART, IN YOUR BODY, AND IN YOUR BRAIN.
One part of the song:
Once upon a time there was a girl
In her early years she had to learn
How to grow up living in a war that se called home
Never know just here to turn for shelter from that storm
Hurt me to see the pain across muy mother's face
Every time my father's first would put her in her place
Hearing all the yelling I would cry up in my room
Hoping it would be over soon...
