Porch light off (With lyrics)

Описание: Lyrics

(Verse 1)
I stood there shaking, hand pressed to my chest
Whispered the truth like I was begging for breath
Mama dropped the teacup, glass shattered on the floo
Daddy said, “Don’t use that word behind our door.”

(Verse 2)
I packed my bag in silence, no coat, no spare change
Walked out into darkness, the night swallowed me whole
The driveway stretched like judgment, cold beneath my feet
One suitcase, two sweaters, no friends I could meet

(Chorus)
Porch light off, no welcome, no home,
Just echoes of “we love you” now carved into stone
The rain falls harder than the words that they threw
Now I’m just another shadow with nothing to lose

(Verse 3)
Slept in bus stops, curled beneath the sky
Counting stars like the things I couldn’t buy
A sandwich here, a blanket from a gas station clerk
Each night I cried myself to sleep in the dark

(Verse 4)
Then I met Maria, eyes like fire, voice like rust
She said, “Honey, come sit, no reason to trust, but still, you’re not dust.”
Beside her stood Jake with a guitar made of tarps
And Jesse, born a boy but living true to her heart

(Chorus)
Porch light off, no welcome, no home,
Just echoes of “we love you” now carved into stone
The rain falls harder than the words that they threw
Now I’m just another shadow with nothing to lose

(Bridge)
We don’t have much just scars and second chances
No parents waiting, no second glances.
But when the sirens cry and the wind starts to moan,
They squeeze my hand and I’m not alone.

(Verse 5)
I still dream of Christmas at the house on Elm Street,
Wonder if they miss me when the table’s incomplete.
But love doesn’t live in walls or the rules they made
It lives in the cracks where the outcasts stay.

(Verse 6)
Let the rain fall, let the thunder declare
I am a lesbian, queen of the broken and bare
They said it was sin, but their love was a lie
I am a lesbian, this is exactly who I’m supposed to be

(Chorus)
Porch light off, no family, no kin,
But laughter in alleyways where the broken walk in.
They shared their bread, their stories, their smoke,
And for the first time, the cold didn’t choke.

(Outro)
So I sing this song with dirt on my knees,
To every lost daughter still down on her knees
You’re more than the door that was slammed in your face
You’re the light that found home in an unfriendly place.

Porch light off… but I’m finally home.
I am lesbian, this is where I’m supposed to be
