Lyrics for Stranger

I trusted you You said all the right things to me All the words to make me believe, 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
