I Kept The Light On

Oh
I kept the light on
Through the longest night
I kept the light on, thinking you'd come back

Hopeless, keeping me
But how can I be cruel when the truth finally
I used to dream of you in colors
And now my nights are painted gray
Every shadow feels like a whisper
But your touch, it fades away

I gave you my mornings, my sleep, the sky
Every home, it was yours to claim
But you turned your eyes to another fire
And left me burning in my own flame

I kept the light on
I kept my heart open through every tear I thought I'd drown
I believed in every promise
But you let them all fall down
Now I'm dancing through the dark
With the echoes of your name
Broken, scarred, still I love you just the same

Colder than
I'm learning how to breathe without you

The clock strikes three, I'm wide awake
Silence screaming in my chest
Memories turning into ghosts
Oh, let me rest
I still feel you in the rhythm of the rain
You're just standing, just outside
But the moment I reach out again
I'm reminded you already said goodbye

I kept the light on
I kept my heart open through every tear I thought I'd drown
I believed in every promise spoken
But you let them all fall down
And I'm dancing through the dark
To the echoes of your name
Every beat, a broken scar
Still, I love you just the same

Colder than the light
Turns into night
Learning how to breathe without your love

Sometimes love
Is just a story we tell ourselves
But the ending
Isn't always ours to write

I'm dancing through the dark
With everything broken
Still, I love you just the same
But the truth is cold
Love turns into light

Now I'm breathing without you
I could put the light on for you
But tonight?
I'm turning it off
