I 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, 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, no no
17 and I'm all messed up inside
I cut myself just to feel alive
I leave the light on, I leave the light on
21 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 leave the light on
I ain't that bad I'm just messed up
I ain't that sad but I'm sad enough
Cause I wanna love...
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
