Right Back To You
by John Michael Ray

That light I left on for you
To find your way home in the dark
Burned itself out
A long, long time ago

I don't know what hurt more
The day you left, you said we were through
Or the day I finally realized
I've gotten over you
An ironic twist to the sadness
I'm better now, but now I find
I'm afraid to forget, afraid to let
You fade over time

That light I left on for you
To find your way home in the dark
Burned itself out
A long, long time ago

Your memory is all that I have
Yet, it doesn't keep me warm at night
Doesn't touch my hand, smile across the room
Doesn't hold me tight
The locks have all been changed
And now it's time to draw the blinds
I've taken that one step forward
To leave it all behind

That light I left on for you
To find your way home in the dark
Burned itself out
A long, long time ago

The silence can be deafening
As life unwinds, the day is through
I sometimes find my thoughts they lead
Right back to you

That light I left on for you
To find your way home in the dark
Burned itself out
A long, long time ago
