Leave the Light On -Beth Hart
I really do hate it when people post lyrics. After my last one, I told myself I wouldn't do it anymore. I couldn't resist. I saw this song performed live a few minutes ago and had to get online and find it. I cannot describe the feelings that ran through me when I heard her singing this. The passion she had was apparent in not only her face but in every word that came out of her mouth. I LOVE that. You don't see that very often. There aren't too many songs that mean anything anymore. It's all about making the money and appealing to the 13 year olds now. I had never heard of Beth Hart before, and I'm just amazed.
Read these lyrics, and if you get a chance, find the song. It is just amazing. There's nothing better than the feeling you get from a song you really connect to.
Leave The Light On
By: BETH HART
From the CD: LEAVE THE LIGHT ON
I seen myself with a dirty face,
I cut my luck with a dirty ace
I leave the light on
I went from zero to minus ten
I drank your wine then
I stole your man
I leave the light on,
I leave that light on.
Daddy ain't that bad he just plays rough
I ain't that scarred when I'm covered up
I leave the light on
Little girl hiding underneath the bed was it something I did
Must be something I said
I leave the light on, better leave the light on.
I wanna love
I wanna live
I don't know much about it
I never did 17 and I'm all messed up inside
I cut myself just to feel alive
I leave the light on 21 on the run
on the run on the run from myself
From myself and everyone
I leave the light on, I leave the light on
Better leave the light on.
Cause I wanna love
I wanna live
I don't know much about it
I never did,
I don't know what to do, can the damage be undone
I swore to God that I'd never be what I've become
Lucky stars and fairy tales
I'm gonna bathe myself in a wishin' well
Pretty scars from cigarettes
I never will forget, I never will forget
I'm still afraid to be alone
wish that moon would follow me home
I leave the light on
I ain't that bad I'm just messed up
I ain't that sad but I'm sad enough
God bless the child with the dirty face who cuts her luck with a dirty ace
She leaves the light on, I leave that light on
