LYRICS:
Dry bones rattle in a lonely soul
Slipped and fell into a deep black hole
I can tell you're lost, I'm here for you
Wildfires burning you down to stone
Blind eyes, turning from a world so cold
A million miles apart, within my reach

It's not like me to worry
But when I see you fading in the dark
I'll leave a light on for you
Through the long nights, I will be right
There for you if you drift too far
I'll leave a light on for you, you, you

Rain comes following an endless drought
To wash away the remnants of all your doubt
I hope that you'll see me looking out

It's not like me to worry
But when I see you fading in the dark
I'll leave a light on for you
Through the long nights, I will be right
There for you if you drift too far
I'll leave a light on for you

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Through the long nights, I will be right
There for you if you drift too far
I'll leave a light on for you, you, you

[troylovell]

3 failed suicide attempts, and here I am. I've become a light for other veterans who are in the darkness. It's my mission to save as many as I can. This is an awesome song.

My lovely wife passed away suddenly yesterday morning last night I couldn't sleep so I jumped in my truck to go let off some steam plugged my phone in and opened YouTube and this was the first song that was on suggestions. This is not my type of music but for some reason it fits how I feel right now and I've been playing it on repeat. We have three daughters a son and eight grandchildren and I've played it for our kids and they love it it fits what we are all feeling/going through

10 yrs ago today my husband decided his journey was over...a light will be on for him as long as I live.

My 16 year old daughter is suffering with bad thoughts and I'm lost to helping her. I love her so dearly. I shared this song just now with her hoping she understands she's not alone. I'm here for her. Life is so fucking hard these days for so many. Please say a prayer for Hannah ❤

My son decided that living was too much almost a year ago on August 16, 2023. He was only 21. This song...no matter how many times I listen to it, gives me goose bumps and makes me cry, thinking of how much more we could have done for him of only he would have opened up to even one person. He knew my door was always open, phone always on, coffee always ready to brew, all he had to do was either call, come over, text, scream... Thank you, Jacoby Shaddix and Papa Roach, for this song. Every time I hear it, it reminds me that we can't know everything that people are thinking, or anything that they're going through. Be kind. Listen. Be there. Leave the light on.

When you hear someone say that music saved them, this is what they're talking about. Thank you, Papa Roach, for creating songs that give hope to those that need it.

[brittneysteimel]

If you are reading this, and feel unwanted, unloved, please know it's not true. You are wanted and loved, and needed. Please stay ❤

[saragriff]

This hit my heart...my daughter struggles so bad and has tried a few times..thankfully never successful...I sent her this song and told her that her mama is ALWAYS there for her...

[jakeey]

Papa Roach has kept a light on in my darkest days for decades. Thank you guys!

Most people in a state of depression CAN'T PICK UP THE PHONE... DON'T GIVE UP ON THEM. Depression is incapacitating. You can barely pick your head up, let alone a phone. Please leave a light on... it's all we have!!

[AngelsGrace]

Yesterday, me and my dad were in the car talking about the weekend plans. Then this song came on the radio. We paused our conversation and sung along. Here’s a moment of silence to those we gained and lost along the way ❤

[delenablevins]

Dry bones rattle in a lonely soul
Slipped and fell into a deep black hole
I can tell you're lost, I'm here for you
Wildfires burning you down to stone
Blind eyes, turning from a world so cold
A million miles apart, within my reach
It's not like me to worry

I'll leave a light on for you, you, you

I’m the mom of a 22 year old son who has paranoid schizophrenia and an 18 year old son with bipolar II disorder. Currently my 18 year old is very depressed and his therapist has told me to keep my eyes on him. It’s songs like this that keep me going and give me the strength to help my sons. The words are beautiful and inspiring.
