I’ll Leave the Light On for You If You Leave

Verse 1

You can take the sweater from the chair

Take the pictures if you want them there

Take the little things I’ll never need

I’ll leave the light on for you if you leave

You don’t have to whisper through goodbye

You don’t have to make a reason why

We can let the quiet say it clean

I’ll leave the light on for you if you leave

Chorus

I’ll leave the light on for you

Soft beside the door

Just enough to find your way

If you come back anymore

I won’t call, I won’t ask

I won’t tug you by the sleeve

I’ll leave the light on for you

If you leave

Verse 2

You can leave your key there by the bed

Leave the things we never should have said

I’ll fold up the blanket at my feet

And leave a little room inside the sheets

I hope wherever you are going to

Someone there is gentle with you too

And if the night gets bigger than you dreamed

I’ll leave the light on for you if you leave

Chorus

I’ll leave the light on for you

Soft beside the door

Just enough to find your way

If you come back anymore

I won’t call, I won’t ask

I won’t tug you by the sleeve

I’ll leave the light on for you

If you leave

Bridge

Maybe love is knowing when

Not to make somebody stay

Maybe holding on too tight

Is just another kind of cage

So go softly

Go easy

Go wherever you need

Final Chorus

I’ll leave the light on for you

Till the morning finds the room

Till I learn the dark can hold me

Without always holding you

I won’t call, I won’t ask

I won’t beg you to believe

I’ll leave the light on for you

For a while

If you leave

Outro

Sleep easy

Dream sweet

I’ll be alright eventually

I’ll leave the light on for you

If you leave
