Lyrics

I LEFT THE LIGHT ON

Just because the light’s on
Doesn’t mean I’m home
And even if I am
Doesn’t mean I’m alone

If you climb those steps
To my front door
Don’t think you’re gonna find
What you’re looking for

[Chorus]
I left the light on
So I can see
The way things really are
Between you and me
I left the light on
So I don’t fall
So I don’t stumble
Or hit the wall

I left the light on
But you should know
It’s not for you
That it glows
I left the light on
Just for me
Just for me
So I can see

[Instrumental Bridge]
Now all the broken pieces
I thought were shards of glass
Are brilliant colors
That light my path
They light the way
Chase my blues away

[Verse]
Just because the light’s on
Doesn’t mean I’m awake
Prob’ly just a late night
With my next mistake

So if you climb those steps
To my front door
You’ll prob’ly get more
Than you bargained for

[Chorus]
I left the light on
So I can see
The way things really are
Between you and me
I left the light on
So I don’t fall
So I don’t stumble
Or hit the wall

I left the light on
But you should know
It’s not for you
That it glows
I left the light on
Just for me
Just for me
So I can see
