Coffee gone cold on the counter Your name on a note by the sink You wrote I'm just going for a while But my heart heard something else I think Stacked up plates Midnight dishes Argued over nothing Then the rent I laughed it off Said it was fine But every joke felt heavier than it was meant Leave the kitchen light on So you can find your way If you ever get tired Of learning how to stay away I'll be here in the doorway One sock on Eyes red Leave the kitchen light on Like you never really left Your sweater still hangs by the front door Sleeve caught on that broken nail I touch it when I'm passing by Like a prayer that never quite exhales I told my friends that I'm better Said I finally learned to sleep alone Then I count the tiles on the ceiling Just to hear your footsteps coming home Leave the kitchen light on So you can find your way If you ever get tired Of learning how to stay away I'll be here in the doorway Breathing in what you forget Leave the kitchen light on Like you never really left Maybe you needed the silence Maybe I needed the fall (mmm) Maybe we're both just pretending We don't miss anything at all (oh) Leave the kitchen light on I'll pay the power bill If you're out there drifting I'm the house that's waiting still I'll be here in the doorway Half a heart Half a breath Leave the kitchen light on Like you never really left
