Stranger

I trusted you
You said all the right things to me
All the words to make me believe you, believe in you
You're not the man I hoped
The person I thought you were
God must have turned his back on a person like me
I'm no stranger to the pain
Trust is now my enemy
My dignity is now shame

Promises can't make me stay
I'm no stranger to the pain
Your calloused hands examining my body
Now what makes you think it's alright with me
I'm too scared to breathe
I'm just lying there so motionless
Praying God will interject and save me
Won't you save me

Oh I finally find the courage
Slowly muster up the words
That's enough from you and head to the other room
Then I slouch to the ground and barely make a single sound
And think of all the ways I could kill you
I'm no stranger to the pain
Trust is now my enemy
My dignity is now shame

Promises can't make me stay
I'm no stranger to the pain
You say you have authority
But that doesn't mean a thing to me
I'm not the victim now
I'm not the victim now

You prey on the ones you say you love
Slander the name of God above
I'm not the victim now
I'm not the victim now

Carry the weight of all you've done
To these innocent ones
We're not the victims now
You're just a coward
Move past the scars you left
Lose every thought I've kept
We're not the victims now
We're not the victims now
