So much malice... I lost a lot that day... I came there with tomorrow Already on my mind A promise in my pocket And your hand holding mine We talked about forever Like forever couldn't end I never knew how quickly A life could turn and bend I remember that last doorway I remember what you said I remember thinking nothing Could touch the life ahead I walked into that mansion Believing love was enough I learned how dark the night gets I learned how strong I was They could lock every doorway They could take what I once knew I walked into that mansion one woman I walked out somebody new There were nights I stopped believing There were days I lost my name Fear can make a prison Long before you see the chains I held on to little memories To the woman I had been And every time they broke me down I built her up again I didn't need a hero I didn't need a sign I only needed one more breath And one more reason to fight I walked into that mansion Believing love was enough I learned how dark the night gets I learned how strong I was They could lock every doorway They could take what I once knew I walked into that mansion one woman I walked out somebody new I still carry what happened I won't pretend I don't Some memories leave scars behind Some memories never go But scars aren't where my story ends And neither was that place I found the woman they couldn't take When I finally saw her face So don't remember me helpless Don't remember only fear Remember I kept breathing Remember I'm still here I walked into that mansion With a future I thought I knew I walked through hell to find myself And somehow made it through You can tell them what they did to me But tell them this part too I walked into that mansion one woman... I walked out somebody new
