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
