Leave the Light On
Beth Hart Lyrics
I seen myself with a dirty face,
I cut my luck with a dirty ace
I leave the light on
I went from zero to minus ten
I drank your wine then
I stole your man
I leave the light on,
I leave that light on.
Daddy ain't that bad he just plays rough
I ain't that scarred when I'm covered up
I leave the light on
Little girl hiding underneath the bed was it something I did
Must be something I said
I leave the light on, better leave the light on.
I want to love
I want to live
I don't know much about it
I never did seventeen and I'm all messed up inside
I cut myself just to feel alive
I leave the light on twenty one on the run
on the run on the run from myself
From myself and everyone
I leave the light on, I leave the light on
Better leave the light on.
Cause I want to love
I want to live
I don't know much about it
I never did,
I don't know what to do, can the damage be undone
I swore to God that I'd never be what I've become
Lucky stars and fairy tales
I'm gonna bathe myself in a wishin' well
Pretty scars from cigarettes
I never will forget, I never will forget
I'm still afraid to be alone
wish that moon would follow me home
I leave the light on
I ain't that bad I'm just messed up
I ain't that sad but I'm sad enough
God bless the child with the dirty face who cuts her luck with a dirty ace
She leaves the light on, I leave that light on

You just can’t write a song like this unless you’ve lived it through and through and found your way back. To then be able to put it to music and to perform it with such immense talent and honesty is nothing short of a miracle. It’s a gift to all of us. Thank you, Beth.
