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
