Listened to this song so many times, especially in moments where I felt really horribly, this is a real help, it's like she's saying to me that she understands how I feel, it's not abnormal to feel bad and to struggle on things, and with very beautiful words she proves me that she really does understand, that it's not one of those hollow phrases that you here sometimes from people..
I thought that "I leave the light on, better leave that light on" might mean that she always stays alert, because of her hurtful past and childhood, she always keeps the lights on, so never at ease because when you are sitting in the dark, you can't see if there is a danger/person with bad intentions coming..
"God bless the child with the dirty face... she leaves the light on, I still leave that light on"
When she was a child, she always had to watch and be careful, because she was never sure if she was safe, and now, as an adult, she still kept that habitude to be in a state of alertness, very aware of what's happening around her, ready to react.
Also this line says that: "On the run, on the run on the run from myself, from myself and everyone, I leave the light on, better leave that light on"
Doens't want to face her real inner self, her own demons and all, because she's to afraid, so she leaves the light on in her own consciousness, avoiding to go deep in there in that unknown dark.
