You came walking through my door.
I'd never seen nothing like you before.
You reached out and I took your hand.
You told me that you'd lead me to the promised land.
I had no, no idea
Where the hell this would lead.
Sure did not expect it
To drown me so quickly.
You tricked me, knew no boundaries.
You took those years from me.
And although you came so close,
You did not defeat me.
You did not defeat me.
You tried to take away my life.
But by the grace of God I'm here to set things right.
You said that we'd be on cloud nine,
But we ended up in hell. I got so sick of your lies.
I had no, no idea
Where the hell this would lead.
Sure did not expect it
To drown me so quickly.
You tricked me, knew no boundaries.
You took those years from me.
And although you came so close,
You did not defeat me.
You did not defeat me.
God grant me the courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference
I know I'm not the only girl
Who because of you felt alone in this world
But you did not defeat me
And you will not defeat me
No you will not defeat me
