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

Thinkin nobody would have cared

Or known just look me in the eye and see that its a light

So you're telling me, this is how you're going down

You thought that I never really wanted you around

Well you are way off track to think like that

Coz now you have taken back, everything that you ever said

Bout 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

Need a change

In a minute of my time did I get your name?

Well 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 can hear what you had to say

Im half way through your story

Cant help thinking that you're just like me

This is how Im going down

I thought that they never really wanted me around

Well I was way off track to think like that

Coz now Im taken back, everything that I ever said

Bout how they'd 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, this is how you're going down

You thought Id never really wanted you around

Well you were way off track to think like that

Coz now you have taken back,

Everything that you ever said

Bout 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
