Beth Hart - Leave the Light On lyrics

rate me

I've seen myself, with a dirty face

I've cut my luck, with a dirty ace

I leave the light on

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

Yeah, 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

I better leave the light on

[Chorus 1]

'Cause I wanna love

And I wanna live

Yeah, I don't know much about it

And I never did - no, no

17, and I'm all messed up inside

I cut myself, just to feel alive

And I leave the light on

And 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 better leave the light on

[Chorus 2]

'Cause I wanna love

And I wanna live

Yea, I don't know much about it

And 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

And 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 the moon would follow me home

I leave the light on

Yeah, I leave that light on

I ain't that bad, I'm just messed up

I ain't that sad, but I'm sad enough

[Chorus 2]

'Cause I wanna love

I wanna live

No, I don't know much about it

And 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

I leave that light

I leave that light

I leave that light on

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
