who was i before i met you
before i had you in my heart
where was i when you aren't by my side
lonely and lost in the dark
now it's the hardest thing i'll ever know
learning to let you go

and i thank you everyday
for all you gave to me
for saving me, for the strength to carry on
when i close my eyes
i feel you close to me, still holding me
even though you're gone
and every night i leave the light on

days go by i'm here without you
i'm missing all the things we shared
but i won't cry
i will not worry about you
in my heart you'll always be there
can you hear these simple words i say
a million miles away

and i thank you everyday
for all you gave to me
for saving me, for the strength to carry on
when i close my eyes
i feel you close to me, still holding me
even though you're gone
and every night i leave the light on

just to remind me (i leave the light on)
i dream you find me once again (i leave the light on)
to lead you home where i am waiting (where i am waiting)

and i thank you everyday
for all you gave to me
for saving me, for the strength to carry on (for the strength to carry on)
when i close my eyes
i feel you close to me, still holding me
even though you're gone
and every night i leave the light on
and every night i leave the light on
