If I leave the light on for you

If I leave the light on for you 
By Michelle Morris

I'm sitting here in silence 
In the tomb of our relationship 
The fire is slowly dying 
And the ashes taste bitter and twisted

Getting over you feels impossible 
Moving on has been a dead-end street
I always wondered why people die from broken hearts 
And here I am no longer wondering 

If I leave the light on for you each night 
And leave the door unlocked by day
I wonder if you'll remember 
And come back to me and stay?

Forever... Forever...
Forever... Forever...

If I send a sign through the Universe
And keep my heart open for yours to feel
I wonder if the Angels will show you
That you and I belong for real?

Forever... Forever...
Forever... Forever...

They say some loves last forever 
But have they been around long enough to know?
They say some hearts never recover 
But it's easier to talk than show 

They say some people are destined to meet
Over and over and over again 
They say some tragedies are set on repeat 
But I know ours could be healed if we tried 

Forever... Forever...
Forever... Forever...

If I leave the light on for you each night 
And leave the door unlocked by day
I wonder if you'll remember 
And come back to me and stay 

Forever... Forever...
Forever... Forever...

If I send a sign through the Universe
And keep my heart open for yours to feel
I wonder if the Angels will show you
That you and I belong for real 

Forever... Forever...
Forever... Forever...

If I leave the light on for you each night 
And leave the door unlocked by day
I wonder if you'll remember 
And come back to me and stay 

Forever... Forever...
Forever... Forever...

If I send a sign through the Universe
And keep my heart open for yours to feel
I wonder if the Angels will show you
That you and I belong for real 

Forever... Forever...
Forever... Forever...
