Hey, don't turn it out
That morning blue is still on the glass
The words I never sent you
Keep ringing under my ribs
I practiced smiling in the mirror
Like goodbye was something I could fix
I won't blame the distant city
For calling louder than we could
But past the gate, when I whispered your name
I almost broke where I stood
I need a word a little stronger
Than goodbye but softer than stay
If this is not the ending
Let me breathe with you once more
If the night gets too heavy
And you lose the road back home
Sing the little song we started
You will never be alone
What remains after crying
Isn't weakness, it's a prayer
So your tomorrow finds the doorway
I'll leave a light right there
Every spring will smell different
Every photo will change its frame
The sleepy jokes, the borrowed sweaters
All turn precious when they fade
Don't call it a promise
Promises hurt when they bend
Still, somewhere under my heartbeat
I keep a candle for when we meet again
If the dream gets too heavy
And it pulls your shoulders down
Keep this nameless melody
In your pocket, safe and loud
Till the reason for the tears changes
Take your time, you don't have to run
I'll begin again from this place
And leave a light where you go on
Do not forget me
But don't be held by me
When you look back
May it help you face the morning
If the night gets too heavy
And you lose the road back home
Sing the song we made together
We can echo through the unknown
What blooms after crying
Isn't luck, it's how we grow
So neither of us loses the way
We leave a light in the world
Hey, it won't go out
That morning blue is under my heart

Leave a Light
moco
A contemporary J-Pop ballad about turning separation into a promise to leave light in each other's future. Intimate duet vocals, felt piano, strings, and four-part harmony build toward a cathartic final chorus.
