Lyrics

It's a paradox
I benefit from what I don't want
It's a long shot
In the dark but I know that it's all I got
Could've been a short call
Could've said that
You didn't want me to leave
I don't wanna do this again
With nobody I see
You don't really get what I said
When I said it's for me
I don't really care what they think
'Cause they can't see my dreams
Keep on hitting stoplights
I wonder when they'll end up turning green
Had me on the sidelines
On the bench while you act like you're part of the team
I went on a drive while
You stayed there but you didn't me want me to leave
Saying I abandoned my leave
What did you want me to be?
That's not me
Not spending all of my time with somebody who ain't meant for me
No, thats not me
Not wasting all of my time
When I know that where I'm destined to be
Is right here
It's a paradox
I benefit from what I don't want
It's a long shot
In the dark but I know that it's all I got
Would've took a u-turn
If I knew
You didn't me want to leave
Healing from a slow burn
I learned
That you're not right for me
Feeling hungover
From thoughts that I cannot erase
But If I didn't have all this pain
None of this would even be the same
Keep on hitting stoplights
I wonder when they'll end up turning green
Had me on the sidelines
On the bench while you act like you're part of the team
I went on a drive while
You stayed there but you didn't me want me to leave
Saying I abandoned my leave
What did you want me to be?
That's not me
Not spending all of my time with somebody who ain't meant for me
No, thats not me
Not wasting all of my time
When I know that where I'm destined to be
Is right here
