Never really said too much 
Afraid it wouldn’t be enough 
Just try to keep my spirits up 
When there’s no point in grieving 
Doesn’t matter anyway 
Words could never make me stay 
Words will never take my place 
When you know I’m leaving 

Try to leave a light on when I’m gone 
Something I rely on to get home 
One I can feel at night 
naked light, a fire to keep me warm 
Try to leave a light on when I’m gone 
Even in the daylight, shining on 
And when it’s late at night you can look inside 
You won’t feel so alone 

You know we’ve been down that road 
What seems a thousand times before 
My back to a closing door and my eyes to the seasons 
That roll out underneath my heels 
And you don’t know how bad it feels 
To leave the only one that I have ever believed in 

Try to leave a light on when I’m gone 
Something I rely on to get home 
One I can feel at night 
naked light, a fire to keep me warm 
Try to leave a light on when I’m gone 
Even in the daylight, shining on 
And when it’s late at night you can look inside 
You won’t feel so alone 

Sometimes it feels like [bad word] out of luck 
When the signal keeps on breaking up 
When the wires cross in my brain 
You’ll start my heart again 
When [bad word] along 

Try to leave a light on when I’m gone 
Something I rely on to get home 
One I can feel at night 
naked light, a fire to keep me warm 
Try to leave a light on when I’m gone 
Even in the daylight, shining on 
And when it’s late at night you can look inside 
You won’t feel so alone
