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 or known 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 they never really wanted you around Well, you are way off track to think like that ‘Cause now you’ve taken back Everything that you ever said ‘Bout 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
You 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 thank the traffic light that stood in the way So that I can hear what you had to say I’m half way 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 ‘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 shelf, on the shelf The crosswalks make the way for us to say what we need to say
Yeah, this is how you’re going down You thought they never really wanted you around Well, you were way off track to think like that ‘Cause now you’ve taken back Everything that you ever said ‘Bout how they 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
