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
