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
