Porch light

I would ask you how you've been, it's all over the internet
But, hey, I mean, we knew that after all
If you're lookin' for an autopsy or a half-assed half-apology
Then I think you picked the wrong time to make this call

It is not irrelevant that you stopped takin' your medicine
But I'm givin' you the benefit 'cause it's rainin' out
I'll tell you how the weather is and I'll slip into some eloquently
Ramblin' mixed-messagin', I should shut you down

But when it's cold, and it's cold, and it's cold, and it's cold
And I don't know, I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone, I'm alone

I hop? you tell me that you're windin' down, that you lost th? taste to face the crowd
That whatever made you famous made you sick
But you can only do what pain allows, it ain't up to you to make it out
There ain't no shame in callin' this thing quits

But you don't, and you don't, and you don't, and you don't, and you don't
You're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost, and you're—

Poison spreadin' to my lungs
I ain't holdin' breath, ain't holdin' any faith at all
And I'll pray for you, be in pain for you
I'll leave the porch light on
Heartbroken, each mornin' when it's me that turns it off

So it goes, so it goes, so it goes

You act like we just sit up here and wait for you to reappear
But, baby, there are bills to pay and your dad's road needs salt
And I try to drown out all the talk, the eyeballs in the parkin' lots
And tell people it ain't me you want, but I guess you're my fault

You're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost, you're a ghost
And I choke, and I choke, and I choke, and I choke on the

Poison you're spreadin' to my lungs
I ain't holdin' breath, ain't holdin' any faith at all
And I'll pray for you, be in pain for you, I'll leave the porch light on
Heartbroken, each mornin' when it's me that turns it off

So it goes, so it goes, so it goes

Oh-oh
Oh-ah!

Poison spreadin' to my lungs
I ain't holdin' breath, ain't holdin' any faith at all
And I'll pray for you, be in pain for you, I'll leave the porch light on
Heartbroken, each mornin' when it's me that turns it off

So it goes, so it goes, so it goes
