Leave The Light On

I've been sleeping with the silence
Chasing ghosts around the room
Talking to the ceiling like it's the only one that knew

You said I'll always love you
Then you disappeared like smoke
Now I'm drowning in the echoes of the words we never spoke

And I try to pretend I'm okay
But I'm falling apart in the quietest way

So leave the light on
Just in case I make it home
Leave the door cracked so I don't feel so alone
I'm not asking you to save me
But damn, it hurts to let me go
So leave the light on
Just let me know that you still care
Even if it doesn't show

I've been staring at the photos
Wishing I could rewind time
Your laugh still lives in corners that I can't clean from my mind

All these songs I never finished
Now just bleeding to the dark
Guess I'm better at pretending than admitting it's still hard

And I smile when they ask if I'm fine
But I'm breaking again every goddamn night

So leave the light on
Just in case I make it home
Leave the door cracked so I don't feel so alone
I'm not asking you to save me
But damn, it hurts to let me go
So leave the light on
Just let me know that you still care
Even if it doesn't show

Maybe one day I'll forget
How you looked in that last sunset
But for now, I'm still stuck in the version of us I regret

So leave the light on for the boy you used to know
For the pieces I dropped when I watched you let me go
If there's a place for all this heartache
I hope you feel it in your soul

So leave the light on just so I know
That I once mattered
Even if you've let it go
