Red light

1st verse

I don’t show up right, I show up late, half drunk, stuck in my ways,

I read your texts Leave them on read,

Cause I don’t know the right thing to say

You talk bout the future, I change the subject, it ain’t something I wanna know

Pre chorus

You wanted a reason to go, I was a reason to slow

Chorus

Cause I was a red light,

Stayin up all night, drinking till the stars go down

And I didn’t hear ya, sayin you need me

I was tryna figure it out

Maybe I’m clueless, maybe I’m thoughtless

But baby there’s something I’m not

See I’m not a green light, walking a straight line, I’m the warning sign you’re taught about

Second verse

I keep one foot out, door cracked open,

Keys still sittin’ on the bar

Say I’m tired, say I’m busy,

Truth is I don’t know where you are

You wanted roots, I wanted reasons

To keep my name on the road

Every time you leaned in closer

I was already halfway gone

Chorus

Cause I was a red light,

Stayin up all night, drinking till the stars go down

And I didn’t hear ya, sayin you need me

I was tryna figure it out

Maybe I’m clueless, maybe I’m thoughtless

But baby there’s something I’m not

See I’m not a green light, walking a straight line, I’m the warning sign you’re taught about

Bridge

I don’t blame you for leavin’,

Hell, I’d do the same

You were lookin’ for forever,

I was runnin’ from my name

I wear my damage like a badge now,

Like it don’t hurt at all

But the truth is I saw it comin’,

I just let us fall

Final chorus

Yeah I’m a red light, bad at the right time,

Hard to love, easy to doubt

You didn’t lose me, you just outgrew me,

That’s what this comes down to now

So don’t wait on me, don’t slow your heart down,

Don’t bet on me changin’ my spots

I’m not a green light, walkin’ a straight line,

I’m the red flag you dodge
