He made her grow up though she was just a child
Made her a woman but took away her smile
And momma didn’t care much if this pretty thing lived or died
Guess no one ever noticed just how much Jessica cried
Deep inside her shame started to burn
All she ever wanted was to learn how to love a man
Searchin’ for the answers she gave away her love
To any man who made her laugh or smile for a while
But alone at night, Jessica Cried
Then she turned eighteen and finally got away
Nights working tables and cleaning by day
But she never rolled her sleeves up and she always seemed so calm
Guess no one ever noticed those little cuts on Jessica´s arms
Deep inside her shame started to burn
All she ever wanted was to learn how to love a man
Searchin’ for the answers she gave away her love
To any man who made her laugh or smile for a while
But alone at night, Jessica Cried
One day she couldn’t bleed the pain out anymore
She still felt dirty as she headed out the door
On the bridge above the river she screamed out loud,
“Daddy, I hope your little girl has done you proud!”
Searchin’ for the answer she looked up to the sky
As she falls towards the river she finds her peace of mind
As one last time, Jessica Cried
