Mom, you always left the light on
When i started driving and went out
When i told you id be late
You left the light on
But mom, soon ill be gone
Who will you leave the light on for?
It wont be me anymore
Mom you left the light on to know i came home safe.
But that light now, it only brings hate.
When i leave you wont have to wait
When im gone who will you wait on?
Mom you always left the light on
You act like i have forsaken you
Made you stay up late
But it was you
You were the one you stayed up
I told you id be late
But you still left it on, and you still thought i made you wait
Now that im older, the light is off
Making my safe place dark.
Telling me i was too old
For you to wait on.
Mom i ask you this now
Now that im too old to wait on
Please leave the light on
