[Verse 1]
You leave your keys by the jar
Like you might stay tonight
Your words come sharp as bottle glass
Then soft enough to bite
I keep the porch light burning
Like it’s holding back the cold
You call that kind of lovin’
But it’s wearing me out slow
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know what you are
I know what you do
Still every time the door swings shut
I start missing you
I tell myself I’m strong
Then I hear your name
And I’m right back at the window
With that same old pain
[Chorus]
Porch light bruises
I can’t let go
Porch light bruises
Scared to be alone
You hurt me so good
I hate that it’s true
Porch light bruises
Keep pulling me to you
(keep pulling me to you)
[Verse 2]
There’s a half-drunk coffee ring
On the table by the sink
Your jacket on my chair again
Like I don’t know what to think
You say you’re done with breaking
Then you break me one more time
And I patch up all your damage
While you leave your mess behind
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know what you are
I know what you do
Still every time the door swings shut
I start missing you
I tell myself I’m strong
Then I hear your name
And I’m right back at the window
With that same old pain
[Chorus]
Porch light bruises
I can’t let go
Porch light bruises
Scared to be alone
You hurt me so good
I hate that it’s true
Porch light bruises
Keep pulling me to you
(keep pulling me to you)
[Bridge]
If I walk out tonight
Who will hold my shaking hands
Who will know the parts of me
That you still understand
I’m tired of the tears
Tired of the blame
But fear’s got its hands on me
And it knows my name
[Chorus]
Porch light bruises
I can’t let go
Porch light bruises
Scared to be alone
You hurt me so good
I hate that it’s true
Porch light bruises
Keep pulling me to you
(keep pulling me to you)
[Outro]
Keep pulling me to you
I don’t know what to do
(keep pulling me to you)
