Caleb Hyles - Leave a Light On for Me lyrics

Why won't they talk to me?
Can't they see that I will be their friend?
I know that I don't look the same
But couldn't we still play together
All the same?

I invited everyone, but no one ever came
I guess they're not to blame
Maybe if I was more fun, maybe sunnier
Then they would see me, they would choose me

Oh mom, don't cry for me
There's nothing you can do
You say just hold on
You won't be lonely soon some day
You'll find the onеs who will see you for you
Just tuck me in
Say a prayer and leavе a light on for me

The corner of the room
The last seat at the table
They just used the last Polaroid
My best friend down the street
They just moved away
But it felt like they left long ago

I am the afterthought and I deserve to be so
Forever trapped in mediocrity

Please dad, don't fight for me
You've done all you can do
You say I'm special
So I'll believe it for you
I know you're proud of me or the
Idea of what I could be just tuck me in
Say a prayer and leave a light on for me

To care to be aware that I
Will never be the best
To bare within comparison who I
Am against the rest
But, if there is to be "first"
And "last" and "better" and "worst"
Then that must mean that there's
More like me than them

Hey mom, I found it
They love me like you said
And dad, you were right
I'm special in the end
They may not be a lot
But I think they need me too
I keep a light on, so alone, I'll never feel
