A first-person account of sexual assault and its traumatic aftermath. The song painfully details the violation of a blurred-consent encounter, grappling with the physical evidence, the psychological turmoil, and the complex, conflicting emotions as the narrator begins a painful journey toward reclaiming her power and resilience.
I woke up
With the stain on my skin
I don’t remember saying yes
But it’s written all over me
My body aches
From the things you did
But I can never fix this kind of pride
Of pride
I had one too many drinks at the bar
My judgment blurred, my defenses down
You took advantage of my vulnerable state
And forced yourself on me
Without hesitation
I tried to resist, I told you no
But you were relentless like a storm blowing over
You said it’d be fun, that we’d both enjoy it
Little did I know you’re just a lying cheating boy toy
I woke up
With the stain on my skin
I don’t remember saying yes
But it’s written all over me
My body aches
From the things you did
But I can never fix this kind of pride
Of pride
Your touch was electric like a shock to my system
But it only served to remind me of your sick intentions
The way you moved inside me felt so wrong
Wrong
Like a violation of my body
My soul, my song
I tried to resist, I told you no
But you were relentless like a storm blowing over
You said it’d be fun, that we’d both enjoy it
Little did I know you’re just a lying cheating boy toy
I woke up
With the stain on my skin
I don’t remember saying yes
But it’s written all over me
My body aches
From the things you did
But I can never fix this kind of pride
Of pride
I hate myself for how it felt
But I can’t deny the rush I felt beneath your cruel touch
You took my trust and threw it away
Left me broken, stained and paying for your sleazy pleasure play
You might have thought you had your fun
But I’m not the kind of girl to just let it slide
You’ll pay for what you’ve done
I’ll wear this stain with pride as a reminder of my resilience deep inside
