Lyrics

Would you be lieve me now

if I told you I got caught up in a wave?

Al most gave it a way.

Would you hear me out

if I told you I was ter ri fied for days?

Thought I was gon na break.

Oh, I could n’t stop it, tried to (A)slow it all down.

Cry (G)ev ing in the bath room, had to fig ure it out with ev ’ry one a round me say ing, (A)“You must be so hap py now.”

Oh, if you keep (D)reach ing out, then I’ll keep (A)com ing back.

But if you’re (G)gone for good, then I’m o kay with that.

If you leave the light on, then I’ll (D)leave the light on.

(Light on, light on, light on.) I am (D)find ing out there’s just no (A)oth er way that I’m still danc ing at the end of the day.

If you leave the light on, then I’ll (D)leave the light on.

(Light on, light on, light on.)

And do you be lieve me now

that I al ways had the best in ten tions, babe?

Al ways want ed to stay.

Can you feel me now

that I’m vul n’ra ble in, oh, so man y ways?

Oh, and I’ll nev er change.

Oh, I could n’t stop it, tried to (A)fig ure it out.

But (G)ev ’ry thing kept mov ing and the noise got too loud with ev ’ry one a round me say ing, (A)“You should be so hap py now.”

Oh, if you keep (D)reach ing out, then I’ll keep (A)com ing back.

But if you’re (G)gone for good, then I’m o kay with that.

If you leave the light on, then I’ll (D)leave the light on.

(Light on, light on, light on.) I am (D)find ing out there’s just no (A)oth er way that I’m still danc ing at the end of the day.

If you leave the light on, then I’ll (D)leave the light on.

(Light on, light on, light on.)

And do you be lieve on, light on.)

Oh, leave the light on.

Oh.

Would you leave

the light on?

If you keep on, light on.)

If you leave the light on, then I’ll leave the light on.

Oh, if you leave the light on.

Mmm.
