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 that light on

I went from zero to minus ten

I drank your wine then I stole your man

I leave the light on

I leave that light on

[Verse 2]

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

Little girl hiding underneath the bed

Was it something I did? Must be something I said

I leave the light on

Better leave the light on

[Verse 3]

'Cause I wanna love and I wanna live

Yeah, I don't know much about it, and never did, no, no

[Verse 4]

Seventeen and I'm all messed up inside

I cut myself just to feel alive

I leave the light on

And I leave the light on

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 5]

'Cause I wanna love and I wanna live

Yeah, I don't know much about it and I never did

I don't know what to do, can the damage be undone?

I swore to God, I'd never be what I've become

[Verse 6]

Lucky stars and fairy tales

I'm gonna bathe myself in a wishing well

Pretty scars from cigarettes, I

Never will forget, I never will forget

[Verse 7]

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

I ain't that bad, I'm just messed up

I ain't that sad, but I'm sad enough

[Verse 8]

'Cause I wanna love, I wanna live

No, I don't know much 'bout it and I never did

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 9]

I leave that light, I leave that light, I leave that light on

[Verse 10]

Gold bless a child with the dirty face

Who cuts her luck with a dirty ace

She leaves the light on

I leave that light on
