Tekst piosenki 'Leave a Light On For Me' wykonawcy Caleb Hyles

Why won't they talk to me?
Can't they see that I will be their friend?
I know that I don't look the same
But couldn't we still play together, all the same?

I invited everyone, but no one ever came
I guess they're not to blame
Maybe if I was more fun, maybe sunnier
Then they would see me, they would choose me

Oh mom, don't cry for me, there's nothing you can do
You say just hold on, you won't be lonely soon
Some day, you'll find the ones who will see you for you
Just tuck me in, say a prayer and leave a light on for me

The corner of the room, the last seat at the table
They just used the last Polaroid
My best friend down the street, they just moved away
But it felt like they left long ago

I am the afterthought and I deserve to be so
Forever trapped in mediocrity

Please dad, don't fight for me, you've done all you can do
You say I'm special, so I'll believe it for you
I know you're proud of me or the idea of what I could be
Just tuck me in, say a prayer and leave a light on for me

To care to be aware that I will never be the best
To bare within comparison who I am against the rest
But if there is to be first and last and better and worst
Then that must mean that there's more like me than them

Hey mom, I found it, they love me like you said
And dad, you were right, I'm special in the end
They may not be a lot, but I think they need me too
I keep a light on, so alone, I'll never feel
