Lyric

I drove through empty streets at 2 AM

Radio low, windows blurred from rain

The city looked different after midnight

Like everyone else had already figured life out

I almost turned the car around three times

Almost convinced myself to disappear again

But there was one apartment still glowing

At the end of the block

Like somebody forgot to give up on me

Sometimes survival sounds less like hope

And more like someone quietly waiting

The lights stayed on for me

When I didn’t know how to come home

When my thoughts got too heavy

Someone still left the door unlocked

The lights stayed on for me

Through nights I thought would never end

And maybe love looks exactly like this?

Not leaving when things get dark

You never asked me to explain myself

Never demanded I become someone brighter

We sat in silence while the kettle boiled

And somehow that felt enough

The storm outside kept shaking the windows

But your room stayed warm and steady

I think healing sometimes begins

In places where nobody asks you

To pretend you’re okay

Not every rescue feels dramatic

Sometimes it’s just a light left on

The lights stayed on for me

When my world felt paper-thin

When I couldn’t carry tomorrow

Someone carried the night with me

The lights stayed on for me

Long after I stopped believing

And slowly, without realizing it

I started believing again

I thought I had to survive alone

To prove I was strong enough

But maybe strength is letting yourself

Be found before you disappear

The lights stayed on for me

Through every version of who I was

Not perfect, not healed, not fearless?

Just trying to make it to morning

The lights stayed on for me

Until the sky finally turned blue

And for the first time in a long while

The world didn’t feel impossible anymore

Outside, the rain slowly faded

But the light in your window stayed
