Born in a quiet French town with no quiet at all
Walls shaking nightly from voices down the hall
She brushed her hair with hands that hoped for more
Dreamed of mornings she never had before
Kids at school whispered things she couldn't chase
Pointing at bruises she never dared to explain
Sixteen years old pockets empty but brave
Ran from a home she could no longer save
She followed streetlamps through a cold wet night
Till Jessie found her glowing in the neon light
A coat of perfume smoke and worn out heels
You're safe now sweetheart come learn what freedom feels
And now I'm lying in his arms tonight
Feels so easy feels so right
If heaven had a side door light
I'd swear I'm walking through it every night
Oh boy I could get used to this
Warm hands soft words a stolen kiss
For a moment I forget what life even is
Yeah I could really get used to this
Sometimes I picture a tiny house near the sea
A cat on the windowsill waiting for me
A garden with roses a swing for the kids
A man who loves me more than anyone did
Sunday mornings pancakes on the stove
Little shoes lined up beside the door
I keep these dreams locked under my ribs
But they glow whenever he touches my hips
And when I'm lying in his arms tonight
Feels so peaceful almost too bright
I wonder if this could last for life
If maybe I could be more than a passing light
But dreams like this they cut like glass
Better not hope for things that never last
So I just smile breathe in let it pass
Yeah I let the moment fade to black
J'en ai marre de courir marre d'être l'ombre
Marre des nuits froides des promesses qui tombent
La vie m'a prise brisée jetée dans la rue
Mais j'suis encore debout tu vois j'suis pas foutue
Jessie m'a sauvée m'a appris à survivre
À garder la tête haute quand le monde veut me priver
Ils savent rien de moi rien de mes cicatrices
