Please Leave a Light on When You Go

How fast can a heart shatter
Before you're walking on splinters?
Your head aches just to feel what it knows
Please leave a light on when you go

How can you fix something
That you can't touch without hurting?
The lesson you've learned is leaving you dumb
Please leave a light on when it's done

Standing high above the flood line
Watching all your belongings go by

How can you see the ending
When you're lost at the beginning?
The day hides all that the night left behind
Please turn a light on when it dies
