The song is about Chelsea, in New York, not London. I totally don't know what you guys know about The Gaslight Anthem, but their a band from New Jersey. Also if you listen to the American Slang album, a few songs later he talks about New York City "So I will wait on the edges in between, These New York streets, Where you and I would meet" -The Spirit Of Jazz. Without a doubt it's Chelsea in New York City. But I don't think that's what the songs about, it's merely just a setting to the song.
I'm not entirely sure what it is about, but it seems to be about a girl who grew up working hard for what she could, a girl who seemingly would deserve everything but yet get's beat and she just turns the other cheek and doesn't open up about it but instead just lives through it because she has the idea that lifes hard, you just gotta keep living.
