Lyrics:
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
And 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
And 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?
I'm damaged, as I'm sure you know
There's mending for my soul
An ending to this fear
Forgiveness for a man who was stronger
I was just a little girl, but I can't go back
Behind the Song:
“Sexual molestation; physical, emotional and verbal abuse – this song addresses these topics, but differently than other approaches. I have the opportunity to receive a lot of mail and email about this topic from young people. These are their words – the abused confronting the abuser. Many who have been through such an ordeal have trouble separating that abuse from their everyday routine, especially in their relationships. This song allows the abused to deal with what has happened to them by emotionally ridding themselves of all the things they have wanted to lovingly communicate to the abuser, while recognizing the healing available to them from God, and the forgiveness available to the abuser.” - Tiffany Arbuckle (Plumb)
