3 Am Traffic

3 AM TRAFFIC

(R&B / dance-pop / soft rock tempo)

©️mary🦂🌺

Red light…

Headlights…

Three in the morning…

Why you still crossing my mind?

⸻

My words got stuck in traffic,

Somewhere between your pride and mine,

Signal lost in the static,

Running circles in my mind.

Phone screen glowing like sirens,

But your name never arrives,

Two hearts scared of colliding,

So we drive right past the signs.

⸻

You lost patience,

I lost trust—

Both pretending

we’re not us…

Tell me—

Did your shadow pass mine

under midnight lights?

⸻

Wide awake at 3 AM—

Traffic jam inside my head!

Love letters,

Unread forever,

Spinning circles in red!

Oh-oh-oh—

We stop, we go,

But never slow enough to know…

At 3 AM,

At 3 AM—

Silence screaming

like a traffic jam!

⸻

Brake lights,

Heart fights,

City never sleeps tonight…

Hey—

Hey—

Why we acting like strangers

at the same red light?

⸻

Crowds of broken-hearted people

Waiting outside midnight doors,

Looking for somebody honest,

Looking for a little more.

Every silence feels crowded,

Every heartbeat echoes loud,

Your goodbye still rerouting

Through this ghost-town in the clouds.

⸻

You lost patience,

I lost trust—

Now the road keeps swallowing us…

Tell me—

Were we almost love,

or just almost enough?

⸻

Wide awake at 3 AM—

Traffic jam inside my head!

Love letters,

Unread forever,

Spinning circles in red!

Oh-oh-oh—

We stop, we go,

But never slow enough to know…

At 3 AM,

At 3 AM—

Silence screaming

like a traffic jam!

⸻

Green light—

Too late—

Wrong turn on an empty interstate…

Your ghost rides

next to me—

Like unfinished poetry…

⸻

Wide awake at 3 AM—

Traffic jam inside my head!

All our promises

crash together

like words we never said!

Oh-oh-oh—

The city glows,

But nobody gets back home…

At 3 AM,

At 3 AM—

Silence screaming

like a traffic jam…
