This song means so much to me

To me, it is about being raped. I was raped when I was sixteen, he took my virginity. He took everything. Just like she says. The innocence, the light in my eyes, it is all gone, months later. It has been a hard road and i'm just trying to make it through. This song touched me deeply. And I hope that other women (or men) who have been through this pain can come together and begin to heal.
