When you walk away from me
It's like everything turns to black
I try to see, but there's nothing there
You were always my light in the dark

So please don't make me scream in the silence
My guitar can shine and scream so loud
But I can't see through all this darkness
Not without you around

Don't leave me here alone in the dark
I know it was too much for you
But never forget it was too much for me too
We're both lost in shadows, without each other

Keep the lights on
I'm afraid of the dark
But even more afraid of the silence
When you're gone
Keep the lights on

I don't wanna be lost in the dark
In the silence your absence leaves
With the void that grows inside of me
A wound that opens, deep and unseen

And this wound never truly heals
My heart is bleeding through the seams
I'm screaming out with all I am
How brightly you light up my life

Keep the lights on
I'm afraid of the dark
But even more afraid of the silence
When you're gone
Keep the lights on
