There's a light that I leave on
It's just an illusion 'cause there's no one at home
It shines just like it used to
When I could come home to you

There's a song on the radio
I love to hear it 'cause you loved it so
It reminds me of the things we used to do
When I could come home to you

[Chorus]
Guess I'm just fooling myself
I've always been a fool for you
I'm still living for the day my dreams come true
And I can come home to you
Like the ring I still wear
My heart's still waiting
It'll always be here
Do you ever think about those days too?
When I could home to you

[Chorus]
There's a light that I leave on
It's just an illusion 'cause there's no one at home...
