She didn't lock her door
And now her world has changed
Since that day she's forced to see
The world a different way
A stranger's just a stranger
And can never be a friend
She didn't see the danger
She's now afraid of men
A mother's pain
A father's rage
Daughter's shame
It's all the same
He's always there
He haunts her dreams
She maintains calm
While her mind screams
He's always there, he haunts her dreams
She maintains calm, while her mind screams
She didn't lock her door
As she recalls that day
She didn't ask him in
He came in anyway
The pain inside her body
Was gone in days or weeks
She's still working on her mind
While quietly it screams
A mother's pain
A father's rage
Daughter's shame
It's all the same
He's always there
He haunts her dreams
She maintains calm
While her mind screams
He's always there, he haunts her dreams
She maintains calm, while her mind screams
She reflects upon her life
Her friends, her kids, the door
She's tired of all the fright
She doesn't want it anymore
She remembers once upon a time
And thinks of all her dreams
In the stillness of her mind
She still can hear it scream
