Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I seen myself with a dirty face

I cut my luck with a dirty ace

I leave the light on

I leave the light on

[Verse 2]

I went from zero to minus ten

I drank your win then I stole your man

I leave the light on

I leave that light on

[Verse 3]

Daddy ain't that bad

He just plays rough

I ain't that scarred when I'm covered up

I leave the light on

I leave that light on

[Verse 4]

Little girl hiding underneath the bed

Was it somethin' I did?

Must be somethin' I said

I leave the light on

Better leave the light on

[Verse 5]

'Cause I wanna love

And I wanna live

I don't know much about it

I never did, no, no

[Verse 6]

Seventeen and I'm all messed up inside

I cut myself just to feel alive

I leave the light on

Yeah, I leave the light on

[Verse 7]

Twenty one on the run, on the run, on the run

From myself, from myself and everyone

I leave the light on

Better leave the light on

[Verse 8]

I wanna love

And I wanna live

I don't know much about it

I never did

[Verse 9]

I don't know what to do

Can the damage be undone?

I swore to God that I'd never be

What I've become

[Verse 10]

Lucky stars and fairytales

I'm gonna bathe myself in a wishin' well

And pretty scars from cigarettes

I never will forget

I never will forget

[Verse 11]

I'm still afraid to be alone

Wish that the moon would follow me home

I leave the light on

I leave that light on

And don't you know

[Verse 12]

That I ain't that bad

I'm just messed up

I ain't that sad but I'm

I'm sad enough

[Verse 13]

And I wanna love

And I wanna live

Now I don't know much about it

I never did

[Verse 14]

I don't know what to do

Can the damage be undone?

I swore to God that I'd never be

What I've become

[Verse 15]

Love, love

Love now

Oh no, oh, now, oh

I leave the light on

I leave that light on

[Verse 16]

God bless the child with the dirty face

Who cuts her luck with a dirty ace

She leaves the light on

I still leave that light on
