The song deals with the rather grim topic of a girl dealing with the after-effects of her childhood rape and molestation. She, like many victims of childhood abuse (both male and female), feels broken, scared and unlovable. She is left blaming herself, questioning what she could have done to prevent...
Dreaming comes so easily
Cause it's all that I've known
True love is a fairy tale
I'm damaged, so how would I know?
I'm scared and I'm alone
I'm ashamed and I need for you to know
I didn't say all the things that I wanted to say
You can't take back what you've taken away
Cause I feel you, I feel you near me
I didn't say all the things that I wanted to say
You can't take back what you've taken away
Cause I feel you, I feel you near me
Healing comes so painfully
And it chills to the bone
Will anyone get close to me?
See, I'm damaged as I'm sure you know
Oh, I'm scared and I'm alone
I'm ashamed and I need for you to know
I didn't say all the things that I wanted to say
You can't take back what you've taken away
Cause I feel you, I feel you near me
I didn't say all the things that I wanted to say
You can't take back what you've taken away
Cause I feel you, I feel you near me
There's mending for my soul
An ending to this fear
Forgiveness for a man who was stronger
Cause I was just a little girl and I can't go back
Oh, I didn't say all the things that I wanted to say
You can't take back what you've taken away
Cause I feel you, I feel you near me
I didn't say all the things that I wanted to say
You can't take back what you've taken away
Cause I feel you, oh, I feel you near me
I can't go back
I can't go back
No, I can't go back
I can't go back
I can't go back
I must go on
I must go on
I must go on
There is healing, there is peace
There is freedom from fear
And who will love you
Like no one's loved you?
You will never be afraid, yeah
Hallelujah, yeah
Hallelujah, yeah
Hallelujah to His name, yeah, yeah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah to His name
You're His children
How much He loves you
And He will never leave you alone
