DON’T TURN THE LIGHTS ON

Don't turn the lights on
I look better in the dark
Don't ask me what I'm thinking
You already know the part

I left my phone face down again
I don't wanna see your name
Funny how a little silence
Can make everything feel loud again

There's a shadow on my bedroom wall
Moving every time I breathe
Maybe I'm afraid of sleeping
Maybe you're the reason I don't dream

And I know, I know
I should let you go
But every time I close my eyes
You're the only thing I know

So don't turn the lights on
Let me disappear
I don't wanna face you
I don't wanna face my fears

If tomorrow finds me
Tell it I'm not home
I'd rather dance with ghosts tonight
Than spend another night alone

Don't turn the lights on
Don't turn the lights on

You left your jacket by the door
I still haven't moved it yet
Like a stupid little memory
I don't have the heart to forget

We were fire in a cold room
Burning brighter than we should
Now I'm talking to the ceiling
Like somehow you understood

And I know, I know
This can't last forever
But some wounds don't really close
They just get better at hiding

So don't turn the lights on
Let me disappear
I don't wanna face you
I don't wanna face my fears

If tomorrow finds me
Tell it I'm not home
I'd rather dance with ghosts tonight
Than spend another night alone

Maybe I'm the problem
Maybe you're the scar
Maybe all the broken things
Are exactly who we are

And if I hear your footsteps
I won't open up the door
I've been losing pieces of myself
Just trying to want you more

So don't turn the lights on
Let me disappear
I don't wanna face you
I don't wanna face my fears

If tomorrow finds me
Tell it I'm not home
I'd rather dance with ghosts tonight
Than spend another night alone

Don't turn the lights on
I can see you anyway

Don't turn the lights on
I'm already far away

Don't turn the lights on
Just let me disappear
