If we don’t come back
Leave the lights on
I folded my costume with shaking hands
Left one earring by the mirror stand
Not for fashion not for luck
Just a piece of who I was
I joked too loud in the hallway
So nobody heard my breath
Some girls call it courage
I was making friends with death
Don’t make us statues in the rain
Don’t turn our fear into a name
If you remember anything
Remember we were trembling
If we don’t come back
Don’t let them call us brave
Say we were scared
And went anyway
If the morning asks
Where the music went
Say we sang until the end
And meant every word we gave
I wrote no letter left no sign
Goodbye would make the ending mine
No final speech no perfect scene
Just quiet girls in white seams
If I laugh before we go
Know I’m scared of letting it show
If I don’t say I love you back
Hear it in the way I step
If the dark becomes the door
I am not ready but I’m yours
If the stars forget our sound
Sing me back if I fall down
If we don’t come back
Don’t let them call us brave
Say we were scared
And went anyway
If the morning asks
Where the music went
Say we sang until the end
And meant every word we gave
If we don’t come back
Leave the lights on
Not because we’re gone
Because we’re still your song
