Fool me for a second time
I guess the blame’s all mine
And acting cool is just a state of mind
And so I say that I’m fine, but
No, I never meant to feel this way, oh
And now I’m waiting for the light to change, and then I’m gone, yeah
And maybe I could never make you stay, oh
And now I’m waiting for the light to change, and then I’m gone
You say that you’re always right
Put your foot on the gaslight
If reality’s a state of mind
You say what you want, but I don’t wanna change mine
No, I never meant to feel this way, oh
And now I’m waiting for the light to change, and then I’m gone, yeah
And maybe I could never make you stay, oh
And now I’m waiting for the light to change, and then I’m gone
Name drop
Even though you won’t admit it, you’re a fame bot
Even though you can’t commit, it doesn’t change much
You’re pushing all the limits of the tame drugs
I won’t give up
Like I’m on an audition for the same love
Everyone is missing, it don’t take much
Ooh
Reflections at the Crossroads
“Green Lights (Demo)” by The Chainsmokers captures the emotional uncertainty that comes with waiting for the right moment to move on. The lyrics explore feelings of regret, self-blame, and the struggle to maintain composure after a difficult breakup. The recurring imagery of waiting for the light to change symbolizes the desire for a clear sign to move forward, both physically and emotionally. The song’s verses touch on manipulation, conflicting perspectives, and the challenge of holding on to one’s identity in a turbulent relationship. Ultimately, the track resonates with anyone who has found themselves lingering at life’s intersections, unsure whether to keep hoping or let go.
