First I Was Afraid Songtext
von Frances Chang

I was cleaning up socks, and humming a tune
When the rising din of quarreling filled my ears
I put down the sock, and the voices stopped
And I picked it up again, and they started again
My parents fought ever since I can remember And sometimes I got between them
And one time I fell into a basket of socks
And got a bloody nail
They never taught me how to speak lovingly
Or handle problems peacefully

But I learned how to fight
I thought that I could be with you
I even thought that someday I could marry you
But then you said goodbye
