Leave the Light On Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Last thing that I said to you
In the driveway muttering profane
"I never want to see your face again
I never want to see your face again"

[Chorus]
But I will leave the light on
Leave the light on
Leave the light on
Leave the light on
In case you're coming back

[Verse 2]
Change my heart and count the days
All I remember all I remember is 'we'
Things fall to pieces
Hold the reasons for another day

[Chorus]
But I will leave the light on
Leave the light on
Leave the light on
Leave the light on
In case you're coming back

But I will leave the light on
Leave the light on repeats
In case you're coming back

[Bridge]
I saw your car in the street
I saw you looking back
Why does everything end up like that?
I saw your car in the street
I saw you looking back
Why does everything wind up like that?

[Chorus]
But I will leave the light on
Leave the light on
Leave the light on
In case you're coming back

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
