Ten years and more are not enough
I can still remember
Every torturing tainted touch
that forced me to surrender
Your hushing words, my rising fear
cutting like sharp searing threads
Your very gaze I still see clear
It burned into my head
Once you abused me
Long time I tried to Forget
the paralizing clutch
So long I tried to renounce
your tantalising touch
But all I achieved, all I obtained
Is a constant Aversion
and irreversible pain
Once you abused me
Now you are gone
And your presence vanished
but the memories have won
Even if you´ve got punished
I´ll never enjoy the love of a man
And I´ll ever avoid intimacy if I can
Once you abused me
You´ve branded me once
turned me inside out
Now I´m wrecked to my bones
But I´ll say it out loud:
Once you abused me
But you´ll never do it again

Ten years and more are not enough
I can still remember
Every torturing tainted touch
that forced me to surrender
Your hushing words, my rising fear
cutting like sharp searing threads
Your very gaze I still see clear
It burned into my head
Once you abused me
Long time I tried to Forget
the paralizing clutch
So long I tried to renounce
your tantalising touch
But all I achieved, all I obtained
Is a constant Aversion
and irreversible pain
Once you abused me
Now you are gone
And your presence vanished
but the memories have won
Even if you´ve got punished
I´ll never enjoy the love of a man
And I´ll ever avoid intimacy if I can
Once you abused me
You´ve branded me once
turned me inside out
Now I´m wrecked to my bones
But I´ll say it out loud:
Once you abused me
But you´ll never do it again
