Someone's picking up the broken pieces.
Someone hides a black eye with her hair.
Someone's old excuses are beginning to confuse her.
Someone isn't sure why she is there.
Someone sees her whole life out the window
Someone see his whole life on a shelf.
If I don't leave the light on for him.
Maybe he won't come on home again.
She pretends to live alone,
Tells her friend she's accident prone,
And she feels so incidental
Thinking everything goes wrong
But it's not coincidental that he keeps coming home
'Cause someone, someone, someone leaves the light on for him.
Someone can't stop polishing his trophies.
Someone's gonna atrophy herself.
Someone writes a letter that could never say it better
And either plans to leave it or herself.
I'm never gonna go to that place again.
I won't be there.
'Cause I know what will be waiting.
I'm never gonna go to that place again.
She pretends to live alone,
Tells her friend she's accident prone,
And she feels so incidental
Thinking everything goes wrong
But it's not coincidental that he keeps coming home
'Cause someone, someone, someone leaves the light on for him.
The light on, the light on, someone leaves the light on.
The light on, the light on, someone leaves the light on.
Someone comes into a darkened doorway.
Someone's voice echoes through an empty home.
Someone reads the letter that could never say it better.
Someone's life is suddenly her own.
She pretends to live alone,
Tells her friend she's accident prone,
And she feels so incidental
Thinking everything goes wrong
But it's not coincidental that he keeps coming home
'Cause someone, someone, someone leaves the light on for him.
Someone turn the light off.
