Leave The Light Out
Eloquent Pain: Unveiling Emotional Depths in Gavin Mitchell's 'Leave The Light Out'
Lyrics
You tore all the pictures down
You removed all the photographs.
Your walls made up of cracks, a plaster cast to blanket the scene
Your walls are full of cracks, covered by a plaster cast to hide the situation.
And I'll leave the light out
I will keep the light off.
Cause I know you hate the flash of the sun past the cracks and the seams
Because I understand you dislike the sunlight revealing the flaws and imperfections.
I'll fight like hell to keep your head off the ground
I will do my best to prevent you from falling down.
While you're trying everything you can to drown me out
While you are attempting to ignore or drown out my efforts.
What can I do to ensure I don't lose you
What actions can I take to avoid losing you?
Before you go I think that you should know
Before you leave, I believe there are things you should be aware of.
The scar is bigger than the smile that you fake
The emotional wound is more significant than the fake smile you display.
Quietly so you suffer but I wish that you could tell me
You silently endure pain, but I wish you could communicate with me.
I'm scared to death to pick up the phone
I'm afraid to answer the phone.
Cause they'll all say that they didn't know
Because others might claim ignorance about the situation.
That it happened just like that but I know
Contrary to their beliefs, I know how things unfolded.
The fade was fast but you
The fading of our connection was rapid, but you...
Burned so slow
Burned slowly, leaving a lasting impact.
What can I do to ensure I don't lose you
What steps can I take to prevent losing you?
Before you go I think that you should know
Before your departure, there are truths you should be aware of.
The scar is bigger than the smile that you fake
The emotional scar outweighs the artificial smile.
Quietly so you suffer but I wish that you could tell me
You suffer in silence, but I wish you could confide in me.
And now I'm supposed to just keep going
Now, I am expected to continue living.
You're just going to leave me here
You are leaving me behind as if my efforts were insufficient.
Like I didn't try hard enough
As if I didn't try hard enough.
Like this fixes anything at all
This departure doesn't solve anything.
So I'm the one that just loses
So, I'm the one who loses in the end.
I only ever wanted to get through to you
All I wanted was to connect with you.
Now that you're gone I hope that you had known
Now that you're gone, I hope you knew...
That I'd give the world to see that smile on your face
That I would do anything to see you smile again.
But I know my word was not so easy to take
But I understand my words were not easy to accept.
