Will you leave the light on
when you walk away?
Would you do it for me,
knowing I will stay?
Because I'm afraid of the dark,
of what I cannot see.
How can I to unlock it
when I don't have the key?

I know I've been unstable,
I know I've been untrue.
But, honey, don't you think
that the same thing goes for you?
Sure, there may be
no fixing what we did.
But would you like to be known
as 'The One Who Hid?'

So will you leave the light on
when you walk away?
Or, just for me, will you
promise that you'll stay?
