i’ll leave a light on

[Verse 1]
And those flowers on your porch you didn't get on your nineteenth
I still sit, stare at the pictures and pretend that it was me
I project all my emotions and my truths onto a screen
And I'm selfish, searching for something that I lost at age sixteen

[Chorus]
I need you to know, that when you get home
I'll leave the lights on, I'll leave a light on
Even when you're gone and everything's wrong
I'll leave the lights on, I'll leave a light on
I'll leave a light on, I'll leave a light on
I'll leave a light on, I'll leave a light on

[Bridge]
I'll leave a light on
I'll leave a light on
I'll leave a light on
I'll leave a light on

[Verse 2]
I guess I spoke too soon
But I know that ain't true
'Cause I said nothing at all
Yet I'm still taking the fall over something you never knew
I guess I think about it from time to time
He told you it'd be better with you at his side
I can't help but miss you, you were never mine

[Chorus]
I need you to know, that when you get home
I'll leave the lights on, I'll leave a light on
Even when you're gone and everything's wrong
I'll leave the lights on, I'll leave a light on
I'll leave a light on, I'll leave a light on
I'll leave a light on, I'll leave a light on
