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
C#5
Or known just look me in the eye and see that it's a light
G# D#
So you're telling me, this is how you're going down
Fm
You thought that I never really wanted you around
C#
Well, you are way off track to think like that
D# C# Fm
'Cause now you have taken back everything that you ever said
D#
About how I'd never want to see you again
C#
Well, this is what I, what I left behind
G# D#
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
C#5
So that I can hear what you had to say
I'm halfway through your story
G#
Can't help thinking that you're just like me
D#
This is how I'm going down
Fm
I thought that they never really wanted me around
C#
Well, I was way off track to think like that
D# C# Fm
'Cause now I've taken back everything that I ever said
D#
About how they'd never want to see me again
C#
Well, this is what I, what I left behind
A#m C#
Forgetting about ourselves
Fm D# C#
Is like history that dust is covering left on the shelf, on the shelf
D#
The crosswalks make the way for us to say what we need to say
G# D#
Yeah , this is how you're going down
Fm
You thought that I never really wanted you around
C#
Well, you are way off track to think like that
D# C# Fm
'Cause now you have taken back everything that you ever said
D#
About how I'd never want to see you again
C#
Well, this is what I, what I left behind
Fm
So you're telling me
this is how you're going down
D# C#
this is what I, what I left behind
