Light On

Last night was a harsh one, don't know if I can do it again
Guarded opinions of marksmen, hearts targeted through their lens

What's the point of a finger to dig up roots of my abuse
Look down to the hand where four more linger, three aim back at you

Size you up like we're different, pretend that's the truth
Stubbornness wins us nothing when we scream, "I'm nothing like you!"

Give me a breather, a minute or two
Old wounds sing, "run away from here, any place thats new"

Then I ran out of gas, picked up my phone
Called Diana and asked, "can I come home?"
I moved back in, told the world we'd meet again
Yet, I always came home to find one light on and the front door letting me in

(One light on and the front door letting me in)

Recite our intentions, swear to God it won't happen again
You exhibit suspicions, naturally, we don't forget

Each failed attempt we preach we gave our best
Guilt follows us in silence, fumes build inside our chests

Apologies dried up, watered down, excuse, protest
You said this was all my fault, settle down, I'm calm, confess

I just love you so much, so why do we do this
It's a beautiful kind of chaos that's too much alike I guess

Then I ran out of gas, picked up my phone
Called Diana and asked, "can I come home?"
I moved back in, told the world we'd meet again
Yet, I always came home to find one light on and the front door letting me in

(One light on and the front door letting me in)
(One light on and the front door letting me in)

I'll be gone when you wake up, but my heart is always here
Say that you'll remember me when it's dark out (It's dark out)
I'll be gone when you wake up, but my heart is always here
Say that you'll remember me when it's dark out (It's dark out)

Leave the light on for me, leave it on
Leave the light on for me when I'm gone
Leave the light on for me, leave it on
Leave the light on for me when I'm gone
