Love Me With The Lights On

Your coat beside the bed Your hand beneath my chin You kiss the noise out of my head I almost let you in Then I turn my face away Before I ask for you to stay You say there's nothing I should prove I read goodbye in every move You reach for me, I feel the doubt And start to plan a way back out Look in my eyes I'm standing here Without disguise Still shaking with fear Love me with the lights on Let me show you what's inside Will you stay here when the night's gone When there's nothing left to hide? Love me with the lights on I turn a pause into a sign A quiet room into a test You say you're here, I say I'm fine With thunder beating in my chest I shut you out to keep control Then wonder why I'm never whole You don't mistake my fear for hate Or tell me that it's all too late You don't insist I'll be all right You just sit with me through the night Look in my eyes I'm standing here Without disguise Still shaking with fear Love me with the lights on Let me show you what's inside Will you stay here when the night's gone When there's nothing left to hide? I make you prove you're staying here Then punish you for getting near You shouldn't have to pay the cost Of every other love I've lost So I won't reach for my disguise Or turn away to hide my eyes Tonight, I'll let you see me shake And trust you with the choice you make Love me with the lights on Let me show you what's inside I'll be here when the night's gone When there's nothing left to hide Love me with the lights on Love me with the lights on Love me with the lights on I'll leave the lights on
