lyrics

There's no need to leave the light on for these lonely hearts
We've seen enough of the world and read it's maps and charts
Sometimes loneliness is a choice that's made from all of life's
Intricate parts.

So there's no need to leave the light on for these lonely hearts
There's no need to leave the light on for these lonely hearts
There are worse things in this world than love that's lost

When i was a child I could foresee the future
The past and the present
With the memories excluded
But that didn't matter because i had my passions
My dreams, and my undesirable endeavors
I only have only life, 'twould be a shame to waste it
On some superficial dream that's just born of my chemistry
So just be quiet, i'd say you've said enough
You're all just empty shells and you're slaves to your lust
Because I think it's a choice one makes to settle a broken heart
But then you're back to the start

So you don't need to leave the light on for the lonely hearts
No you don't need to leave the light on for the lonely hearts
We will find our way through the dark
Through the darkest, darkest dark
We will find our way through the dark
