Leave a Light On For Me şarkı sözleri

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
