Don't know why you must go I'm not sure, you really know Remember me, how easy and tender that it used to be There's no right, there's no wrong I just want you back where you belong And that's why I will leave the light on I will leave the light on I will leave the light on for you You can run, but you can't hide From the feeling you bury inside In my heart, I know this is true It's one of the things that I learned from you Lovers come, lovers go And there's much more to this than you know That is why I will leave the light on I will leave the light on I will leave the light on for you When your fairweather friends Leave you standing by yourself in the pouring rain When the nights are dark and lonely Call my name, call my name You can retrace your steps Oh, but don't you forget I will leave the light on I will leave the light on I will leave the light on for you Don't know why you have gone Hope you can find your way home Until then...I will leave the light on I will leave the light on I will leave the light on for you
