I seen myself with a dirty face,
i cut my luck with a dirty ace
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 ain't that scarred when i'm covered up
i leave the light on
little girl hiding underneath the bed was it something i did
must be something i said
i leave the light on, better leave the light on.
I wanna love
i wanna live
i don't know much about it
i never did 17 and i'm all messed up inside
i cut myself just to feel alive
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, i leave the light on
better leave the light on.
Cause i wanna love
i wanna live
i don't know much about it
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
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 moon would follow me home
i leave the light on
i ain't that bad i'm just messed up
i ain't that sad but i'm sad enough
god bless the child with the dirty face who cuts her luck with a dirty ace
she leaves the light on, i leave that light on
