When I first arrived I was all bright-eyed and full of ambition

I went and became a little more social

Things looked so good and everything was going well

I took a chance even though you were a stranger

You had a way with words that I had never know

You were charming and funny, I should have seen it coming

Everything changed when I got into your car

You told me who you really were and what you really do

There was no way for me to get out

I felt like I was drowning in my own fear

I felt like there was a lump in my throat and a gun to my head

I was afraid of what would happen if I didn’t do what you said

You roofied me and threatened me

There are some things I just cannot forgive

One of them is how you assaulted me and messed with my head

Because of you, I couldn’t leave my room anymore

Because of you, I didn’t want to live anymore

Because of you, I hated every inch of myself

Because of you, I blamed myself

I knew something was wrong when my body couldn’t stop shaking

I didn’t know if it was from my fear or from the drugs

You tried so hard to have sex with me

It wasn’t consensual I didn’t want to get sexual

I had to get down on my hands and knees and beg you to take me to the hospital

Because of you I couldn’t leave my room anymore

Because of you, I didn’t want to live anymore

Because of you, I hated every inch of myself

Because of you, I blamed myself

You threatened me and told me to lie

You said you’d come after me if I didn’t lie for you

You stalked me and haunted me

I still can’t get away from you even in my dreams

Every time I see a guy like you I can’t help but panic

Because of you, I couldn’t leave my room anymore

Because of you, I didn’t want to live anymore

Because of you, I hated every inch of myself

Because of you, I blamed myself

All I ever wanted was to be free but you took that away from me

You have destroyed every inch of me

I’m trying to come back from that hell

Because of you I couldn’t leave my room anymore

Because of you, I didn’t want to live anymore

Because of you, I hated every inch of myself

Because of you, I blamed myself

I want you to know my pain

To have your sense of safety and freedom ripped away from you

I know who is at fault here and it’s not me

Stop trying to hide behind this ‘I’m a good guy image’

I’ve seen the real you and I hope everyone see’s it too

I’m trying to heal

I’m trying to be strong

But it’s so hard

I feel like I can’t go on

But if this stops this from happening to another

Then I guess I will fight on
