[Intro]
Oh-oh
Mm, hmm-hmm
Mm-hmm

[Verse 1]
You work out all your pain and I fall for your tears
Then you burn our bridges till the love disappears
It's a back and forth game that we play to the end
Though the future looks bright, it's not the one we intend
So I

[Chorus]
I keep the light on for you (I keep my light on)
It's the very least that I could do (I keep my light on)
I keep the light on for you (I keep my light on)
Though the world keeps saying we're through

[Post-Chorus]
Are we, baby?
Is that what you're saying, love?

[Verse 2]
Nothing lasts forever, feelings just bring us down
We used to make great music, now we're drowning in sound
There's no words to express the trouble that we're in
Every time we say goodbye sends my head into a spin
So I
[Chorus]
I keep the light on for you, yes, I do (I keep my light on)
It's the very least that I could do, mm (I keep my light on)
I keep the light on for you, mm (I keep my light on)
Though the world keeps saying we're through

[Post-Chorus]
Are we, baby?
Oh, when's it gonna be over?

[Bridge]
See, I want you to leave 'cause I know that nothing gonna change
So I'll leave my door open so you can come right back to me
Why do I keep, I keep my light shining bright? (I keep my light on)
Just so you can see your way up the path to me, baby (I keep my light on)

[Outro]
I keep the light on all through the night (I keep my light on)
Although the world keeps saying that we're through (I keep my light on)
Are we, baby?
Are we through? (I keep my light on)
I don't know if I've had enough of you
So I keep the light on
I keep the light on for you (I keep my light on)
Although the world keeps asking me daily, "Are we through?"
