Leaving the light on

[Verse 1]
The house is quiet
But my head is loud
Every memory
Walking around
Like ghosts in the hallway
Calling my name
Reminding me
I’m not the same

I tried to be strong
I tried to be brave
But I’m still just a kid
In a grown man’s face
And I don’t have the answers
I just have this ache
That I’m trying to survive
One night at a time

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t know where I’m going
But I know I don’t wanna stay

[Chorus]
So I’m leaving the light on
In case I get lost
In case the dark
Feels a little too strong
I don’t know if I’ll make it
But I’m not done
I’m leaving the light on

I’m leaving the light on
For the part of me
That still believes
In something I can’t see
Even if I’m scared
Even if I’m wrong
I’m leaving the light on

[Verse 2]
I’ve been walking
Through my mistakes
Carrying weight
I can’t erase
Every regret
Every goodbye
Feels like a door
I left behind

But maybe tomorrow
I’ll find my way
Back to the person
I lost in the pain
I don’t need to be perfect
I just need to try
To not give up
On my own life

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m not healed
But I’m not gone

[Chorus]
So I’m leaving the light on
Through the night
Even when I can’t see the signs
I don’t know how this ends
But I’m still holding on
I’m leaving the light on

I’m leaving the light on
For the days ahead
For the version of me
That hasn’t been met
Even if I’m scared
Even if I’m not strong
I’m leaving the light on


[Bridge]
Maybe this isn’t the ending
Maybe it’s just a pause
Maybe the story keeps going
Even when I feel lost
I don’t need all the answers
I just need a spark
Something to guide me
Out of the dark


[Final Chorus]
I’m leaving the light on
In my soul
In case I forget
I’m not alone
I don’t know where I’m going
But I still belong
So I’m leaving the light on

Even if fear comes back
Even if I fall
There’s a part of me
That still wants it all
So I’m not closing the door
I’m not turning it off
I’m leaving the light on
