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
