Traffic Lights

The traffic light

Waits for you to tell me

The tale of a shattered life tonight

And I just passed by

When you have had the chance to fight

Or would you spend your last days alone

Thinking nobody would have cared to know

Just look me in the eye and see that it's a lie

So you're telling me

This is how you're going down

You thought that I never really wanted you around

Well you were way off track to think like that

'Cause now you're taking back

Everything that you ever said

About how I'd never want to see you again

Well this is what I, what I left behind

(What I left behind, what I left behind)

We need a change and a minute of my time

Did I get your name?

Will you say that I haven't been asked that in years

Now I think the traffic light that stood in the way

So that I could hear what you had to say

I'm halfway through your story

Can't help thinking that you're just like me

This is how I'm going down

I thought they never really wanted me around

Well I was way off track to think like that

'Cause now I'm taking back

Everything that I ever said

About how they never want to see me again

Well this is what I, what I left behind

Forgetting about ourselves

Is like history that dust is covering

Left on the self, on the self

The crosswalks make the way for us

To say what we need to say

Yeah girl, this is how you're going down

You thought that I never really wanted you around

Well you were way off track to think like that

'Cause now you're taking back

Everything that you ever said

About how I never want to see you again

Well this is what I, what I left behind

This is how you're going down

This is what I, what I left behind
