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 its a lie
So youre telling me

This is how youre going down
You thought that I never really wanted you around
Well you were way off track to think like that
Cause now youre taking back
Everything that you ever said
About how Id 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 havent 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
Im halfway through your story
Cant help thinking that youre just like me

This is how Im going down
I thought they never really wanted me around
Well I was way off track to think like that
Cause now Im 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 youre going down
You thought that I never really wanted you around
Well youwere way off track to think like that
Cause now youre 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 youre going down
This is what I, what I left behind
