Lights On

Verse 1

Piano and voice

I always made sure the room was dark enough beforeI've got scars I tell a different story forA tattoo I'm ashamed of, a name beneath the inkAnd a version of me I don't let anybody seeI learned to love in shadows, it was easier that way

Pre-Chorus

But you reached across and found the switchAnd I didn't stop your hand

Chorus

Love me with the lights onLook at all of meIf you're gonna love meLove me with the lights on

Verse 2

You traced the one along my ribs and didn't askYou kissed the name I covered up like it was yoursFirst time in years I cried in front of someoneAnd you didn't look away

Pre-Chorus

But you reached across and found the switchAnd I didn't stop your hand

Chorus

Strings enter

Love me with the lights onLook at all of meIf you're gonna love meLove me with the lights on

Bridge

Voice breaking, piano alone

I'm not pretty and I'm not finishedI'm just here with the lights on

Final Chorus

Full band, gritty soaring belt

Love me with the lights onLook at all of meIf you're gonna love meLove me with the lights onLove me with the lights onLook at all of usIf you're gonna love meLove me with the lights on
