Look at the bastard stars, See how they're burning tonight |
|
I need you to show them all how you can light up the night |
|
I don't need your secrets, the gold you're holding |
|
I don't need your silver tongues unfolding |
|
So rest, please stay. Don't say you'll leave me in this wretched state |
|
And count the things that I put you through |
|
Just leave a light, a light, leave a light... just leave a light on. |
|
I fought and won in a thousand wars and they were all created by my own corrupting hand |
|
So in this darkness of my own making, just a spark from you can stop the shaking |
|
So rest, please stay. Don't say you'll leave me in this wretched state |
|
And count the ways I'm breaking us in two |
|
Just leave a light, a light, leave a light... just leave a light on. |
|
I just want to reach you, humbly beseech you to hold me down and never let me go |
|
I need you in my blood, I need to be understood |
|
I need a distant candle burning, showing me the way back home. |
|
So rest, please stay. Don't say you'll leave me in this wretched state |
|
And count the things that I put you through |
|
Just leave a light, a light, leave a light... just leave a light on. |
