Leave The Light On

Submitted by Emily

I seen my myself with a dirty face
I cut my luck with a dirty ace
I leave the light on, I leave the 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

Daddy ain't that bad, he just plays rough
I am that scarred when I'm covered up
I leave the light on, yeah, I leave the light on
Little girl hiding underneath the bed
Was it something I did, must be somethin' I said
I leave the light on, I better leave the light on

Cuz I wanna love, I wanna live
I don't know much about it
And I never did, no no

17 and I'm all messed up inside
I cut myself just to feel alive
I leave the light on, I leave the light on
21 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

Cuz I wanna love, I wanna live
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

Lucky stars and fairy tales
I'm gonna bathe myself in a wishin' well
Pretty scars from cigarettes
I never will forget, I never will forget

I'm still afraid to be alone
Wish that the moon would follow me home
I leave that light on, I leave that light on
I ain't that bad, I'm just messed up
I ain't that sad, but I, I'm sad enough

Cuz I wanna love, I wanna live
No, 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 that I'd never be what I've become

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

God bless the child with the dirty face
(Can't sleep tonight cuz it just ain't safe)
She leaves the light on, I leave that light on
