Traffic Light - Daughtry

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 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

'Cause now you have 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)

I need a change

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

(Your name?)

Well you say (Well you say)

That I haven’t been asked that in years

Now I think (Now I think, now I think)

The traffic light that stood in the way (The way)

So that I can 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 that they never really wanted me around

Well I was way off track to think like that

'Cause now I’m 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 I’d never really wanted you around

Well you were way off track to think like that

'Cause 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
