I've seen myself
with a dirty face
I 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 that 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
'Cause I wanna love
And I wanna live
Yeah I don't know much
about it
and I never did no no
Seventeen and I'm all
messed up inside
I cut myself
just to feel alive
I leave the light on
Yeah I leave the light on
Twenty-one on the run
on the run on the run
From myself
from myself and everyone
I leave the light on
Better leave the light on
'Cause I wanna love
And I wanna live
Yeah 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
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
And I ain't that bad
I'm just messed up
I ain't that sad but I'm
I'm sad enough
'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
La di dye dye
da da di ay
La di dye dye
da da di ay
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
