Lyrics:
You say you’re workin’ late again
I nod, pretend to understand
Dinner’s cold but still untouched
I clear the plates, try not to rush

The porch light glows like it always has
I keep it on, just like the past

I leave the light on, so you can see
That someone here still believes
In long days, in hard work, in comin’ home
Even when I feel alone
I leave the light on, like love still lives here
Even if you’re barely near
You don’t say much, but I still try
So I leave the light on every night

I fold your shirts the way you like
Lay ‘em out when it’s late at night
I don’t ask what’s takin’ time
But your eyes don’t look quite like mine

You used to call just to check in
Now silence is your next of kin

But I leave the light on, just in case
You remember how this place
Held your heart when it was worn
Held your dreams when they were torn
I leave the light on ‘cause I still care
Even if you’re halfway there
I don’t chase, and I don’t cry
I just leave the light on every night

Maybe I’m just tryin’ to feel like I matter
In a house that’s gettin’ colder
Maybe this light’s not for you anymore
Maybe it’s for me—to feel a little bolder

Still, I leave the light on, outta love
Outta habit, outta hope, outta us
You might not notice, might not see
But it’s the last soft part of me
I leave the light on, and that’s enough
Even if it don’t bring you back to us
You don’t have to say goodnight

I’ll just leave the light on
One more night
