"Leave The Light On" lyrics - BETH HART

I seen myself with a dirty face,
I cut my luck with a dirty ace
I leave the light on,
I leave that 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, I leave that 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 wanna love
I wanna live
I don't know much about it
I never did

17 and I'm all messed up inside
I cut myself just to feel alive
I leave the light on,
I leave that light on
21 on the run, on the run, on the run,
From myself, from myself and everyone
I leave the light on,
Better leave the light on.

'Cause I wanna love
And I wanna live
I don't know much about it
And 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 leave that light on
I ain't that bad I'm just messed up
I ain't that sad but I'm sad enough

'Cause I wanna love
And I wanna live
I don't know much about it
And 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

I leave that light, I leave that light, I leave that light on

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
