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
I’d 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 s*it I 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
Babe, you know, 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

[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 s*it I 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 s*it I 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)
