[I left a light on by Jason Branton]

 

Would it really mater...
..if I saw your face anymore?
Cause your vision's burned into my eyes
And now I’m on the floor
I guess I sighed too heavy
A sigh for you when you are gone
Your names carved in my arm
But would it really matter...
..if I even breathed anymore?
My mind too consumed
With pictures flashing by of you
Spelling out that I am doomed
To flower you witth flatter...
..until you can’t take anymore
..just put me back here on the floor..
...walk out and quietly close the door.

But would it really matter...
...if you never came back again.
To be my one and only friend
The one to hold me in the end
And I left a light on for you
So when you decide to see me once again
The light will take you to....
...a place where you must march among the men..
..they too will march for you.
That’s why I left a light on for you...
...so now I sit here on the floor
Probably wondering some more...
..where the march will bring you to.
Bring you to...
