lyrics

I'll leave the light on for when you go missing
I'd call your name but it makes no difference at all
So I sing for anyone listening
I wrote this letter in summer
I hope you read it in the fall

There's such a disconnect in your empty threats, you know
I can see it in your eyes
But now I'm such a mess I didn't ask for this
I never wanted to have to see you cry
I always get so fucked up and end up doing things I know I shouldn't do
And it's not fair, you know I don't care about the things I said to you

I thought that I was fine but it turns out that I'm a wreck

I'll leave the light on for when you go missing
I'd say your name but it makes no difference
at all
So I sing for anyone listening
And hope that you can hear me when I call
And I waste my time on wishing
That things will change for the better after all
I wrote this letter in summer
I hope you read it in the fall

There's so much disinterest when you talk to me
I can feel the poison in your words
And there's disrespect to you from me
You know it breaks my heart to see you and
I almost got away with leaving you and not really caring at all
But in November I remembered that I promised you I'd call

I tried so hard to make things better but I just made a mess

So don't leave the light on when I go missing
Don't call my name, it makes no difference at all
Don't sing, 'cause I'm not listening
You know that I can't hear you when you call
Don't waste your time on wishing
That things will change for the better after all
I wrote this letter in summer
I hope you read it in the fall

We never took the time to pick the pieces up
And now when I look back I can see where I went wrong
So if you get this message I hope that you will call, and I'll pick up I promise
To get us back to right where we belong

I'll leave the light on for when you go missing
I'd call your name but it makes no difference at all
So I sing for anyone listening
And know that you can hear me when I call
I'm not wasting time, you know
That things will change for the better after all
I wrote this letter in summer
I hope you read it in the fall

I hope you read it in the fall
