Greenlight Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Two chains hanging off your chest when you kiss me
So strange, who’d’ve thought we’d get here with our history?
[Pre-Chorus]
You know, I tried to be what he thought I was, I wasn’t
I tried to be everything I thought he wanted
And truthfully, I’m so over but stuck on it
And if I’m honest
[Chorus]
I’m still waiting at the green light
To tell you what I feel like, but I can’t go
I’m still tryna make a beeline
Stuck up in a rewrite of the same song
Band-Aids and bullet holes don’t go
I can’t unhear shit I’ve been told
Guess I never healed right
Maybe it’s a green light, but I can’t go
[Verse 2]
Midnight, one-twenty on the PCH, just you and me
Baby, no, I can’t lie
The most alive I think I’ll maybe ever be, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
You know, I tried to be what he thought I was, I wasn’t
I tried to be everything I thought he wanted
And truthfully, I’m so over but stuck on it
And if I’m honest (Oh, yeah)
[Chorus]
I’m still waiting at the green light
To tell you what I feel like, but I can’t go
I’m still tryna make a beeline
Stuck up in a rewrite of the same song
Band-Aids and bullet holes don’t go
I can’t unhear shit I’ve been told
Guess I never healed right
Maybe it’s a green light, but I can’t go
[Bridge]
I can’t go
I can’t let go
I can’t go
I can’t let go
I can’t go
I can’t let go
I can’t go
[Chorus]
I’m still waiting at the green light
To tell you what I feel like, but I can’t go
I’m still tryna make a beeline
Stuck up in a rewrite of the same song
Band-Aids and bullet holes don’t go
I can’t unhear shit I’ve been told
Guess I never healed right
Maybe it’s a green light, but I can’t go
[Outro]
Maybe it’s a green light (Oh)
Green light, green light
Maybe it’s a green light (Oh)
Green light, green light
I can’t go
