| 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. |
