Red Light
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Red light's gone, I know, red light
Sometimes we need to say "Red Light"
This time I'm not that innocent
This time I'm not so eloquent
I guess it's not so evident
This time is not that different
I'm not so God dawm innocent
I know I'm not that innocent
This time I'm not so sniveling
This time I'm not that patient
This time I'm not so furious
I'm not that curious
This time I'm not that innocent
innocent, eloquent, evident
innocent, different, sniveling
furious, curious, patient
innocent
Why I lie, why I cry when you are not the same?
Why I fight to have a smile when you are not the same?
Why I try my disguise when I am not the same?
Why we dance, tell me why, when things are not the same?
Why we try to justify when things are not the same?
You know why...
Look how it ends
See how it is
Look how it ends
See the way it kills
Pain is not for me
How it pulls me back
Rain is not for me
It flows back
Look how it ends
I need to go back home
Why I lie, why I cry when you are not the same?
Why I fight to have a smile when you are not the same?
Why I try my disguise when I am not the same?
Why we dance, tell me why, when things are not the same?
Why we try to justify when things are not the same?
You know why...
