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

    My 9 year old daughter loves this song. I dont think she realizes how many dark places she has brought me out of. She's the reason I live.
  • @JesseLBK
    My best friend Scott shot himself yesterday morning. This song devastates me. Please keep the Family of Scott Massie in your prayers. He was a very talented musician who struggled with alcoholism and diabetes.
  • This song will always make me cry. I've been on both sides of suicide and I'm in a better place now. It's going to get better I promise you that
  • @aliciahartwell24
    I am putting this out into the universe. This is for you, Chester Bennington. If you only knew how much we love you and miss you more and more everyday. You would have loved this song so much.Maybe you can hear it now and sing it with us all.. I still feel you even though I can't see you. I love you forever ❤

    I lost my high school sweetheart, went through SA, and lost my pregnant girlfriend all in 2009. I didn't fall into a deep black hole. I was dragged down, kicking and screaming, clawing at the ground to try and stay out of it. I failed and I fell even further every time I picked up a knife, every time I grabbed the pills. I tried everything to end it all. But 1 person pulled me back from that edge. My best friend, but it wasn't her that pulled me out. To be the best person I could be, I knew I had to pull myself out. It took me 6 grueling years and the loss of my personal hero, my grandpa, but I got out. Today, I'm happily married, still talk to my best friend every day, I have 2 amazing kids, and I am actually happy with my life. I still suffer days of darkness. 5 days a year... but I smile, I laugh, and I love. I PROMISE YOU IT WILL GET BETTER!!! Have NO doubt that it is going to be one of the hardest things you do, but I promise with EVERY atom of my being that it WILL get better. You're stronger than you think and more capable than you know.

    This song made me cry so hard. I am a person who has a disability I have never had a girlfriend before and I have only one friend who has saved me from suicidal thoughts and wanting to give up. I don’t think I will ever find true love but I know people love and care for me. This is my new favorite song.
  • As a struggling soon to be father without a job no unemployment or food stamps to help and family drifting apart with a girlfriend who's working countless hours to try and provide for this family this is nothing short of a call from God. This song is something I've listened to on repeat everyday for hours and I can say one thing... the world will repay you for the effort you put in and nobody can tell you otherwise. You're all worth something and go through the things you go through for a reason but there's always someone there for you. Never let them go because they're there for a great reason. Never give up Never look into the dark and if you do just know there's a light waiting for you at the end of every tunnel ❤
  • I lost my 15-year-old son it's almost the anniversary in just a few weeks and I just heard this song it brought me to tears I didn't see the dark hole he was in enough I didn't notice enough I made a promise to myself that I will always look out now for each and every person I know if you feel alone you are not alone and if you are in a dark hole there is light we have to look and find it but it's there and things will get better they are not always the same I wish he would have known things get better and change and that there is always a bright side
  • Papa Roach will be forgotten and They won’t be sorry that I’ll never see them again in 1 piece inside my heart. 🥹
  • This song reminds me of a man I loved very much. I used to tell him that all the time. He fights clinical depression and the black hole he fell into took him away from me. He has tried to take his life before. Instead of doing that again , he forgot about me and my love for him. I kept the light on for him but it wasn't bright enough. I tried so hard but it wasn't enough. The hardest thing ever for me is to love him and miss him so much from five feet away.
  • She-bros and bros, life gets better. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, feel alone or are just depressed and down. There’s always a light at the end of the tunnel of darkness. It may not always be a straightforward exit and it may come from a circumstance that you wouldn’t expect so be open to the idea of it all working out.
  • @jennifercole7799
    Leaving a light on for my daughter tonight.... Sending her love. Hope she hears and feels this song
  • I really needed to hear this song right now, I've dealt with depression my entire teenage life, I've had a self harm addiction and relapsed twice, I'm so sorry to all my friends and family, thank you Papa Roach for being one of those bands that can put exactly how I feel into words, I honestly believe that if it wasn't for the music that so many bands like Papa Roach, Slipknot, Korn and Linkin Park dedicated they're lives to I wouldn't be here right now, thank you so much, I may not be doing well but I will forever be grateful, thank you Papa Roach
  • @Sasuke3303
    Such a beautiful song. Thank you guys for still being here after all these years! We love you! ❤🤘
  • I absolutely love this song. I need it to remember the times where I thought I should end it all. I’ve had severe depression for years. Then when I got divorced I thought I lost my world, now I realize by loving myself I get stronger each day and I’m leaving the light on for myself moving forward. I hope all of you know life is hard but keep pushing yourself no matter how hard it gets. I love you all so much. Don’t give up.
  • @lostloser1055
    First time I heard this. I’ve had a hard time getting through grief of losing my mom. It’s about to be 2 years and I still remember the day she passed. Every moment. Every little thing about it. Even the days before it. I still remember how much pain she was in but was stubborn to go to the doctor. I still just sit and think. I know she wouldn’t want me to get upset about her being in heaven and in no pain. She would want me to get up and go, and there are days I can’t. She would leave a light on when she would have to go somewhere and tell me not to worry. That things would be ok. This song reminds me of when she would do that. Made me cry like a baby. I’m trying each day to keep going. I’m trying.
  • This has quickly become my new favorite song from y'all... the message is so very important!
  • @kissgirlone8229
    Thank you I lost my daughter when she was 21 and I have struggled for 40 years with the dark. Thank you. Please keep reaching out.
  • @vanessabauer9342
    Life is dark at times, sometimes more than you want, but always remember that there will always be light and that light is yours! My light was not bright enough for my late husband but the light that he left in me is bright enough to keep me going and to help others who feel the darkness! That deep dark rabbit hole sucks and even if you feel no one has your back, even yourself, straighten up your crown and climb out of it! That way if he fall back into it you will know how to get out of it! ❤️
