[Daughtry - Traffic Light lyrics]
The traffic light
Wait's 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
About 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
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
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've taken back
Everything that I ever said
About 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
About 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
Wait's 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
About 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
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

Can't help thinking that you're just like me

Well this is what I, what I left behind
This is how you're going down
This is what I, what I left behind
