Please Turn Off The Light Before You Leave
There's a stillness here, I need move
If we do not grow, we can only lose
We held a chance to a lasting show
You lost your grip, and let it go
You can take it all, take everything
Though you will not gain anything
I wanted more than you could give
I gave you more than they ever did
Turn the light out when you leave this
Close the door for there'll be no last kiss
Don't look back or you'll only regret it
A room now haunted, though you might forget it
- but I won't, I won't
This ain't right, inside I scream
Though you've stolen the light, there's still the dream
But I'm still whole, and I will survive
I won't crawl, and I will not cry
You held a dream so close, so near
Then let it go, because of fear ?
I gave you more than you could give
I offered more than your farewell bid
Turn the light out when you leave this
Close the door for there'll be no last kiss
Don't look back or you'll only regret it
A room now haunted, though you might forget it
- but I won't, I won't
