LUZ ROJA
Ángela Torres
RED LIGHT
If I woke up feeling down, you don’t want to see me
I’m always scared to share my problems, afraid you’ll walk away
I feel like I’m not a prize for you
Different from the girls I know you liked to be with
Traveling with you made me feel like a sidekick, not your love
I think you don’t like who I really am
I’ll cross the street even if the light is red if you hold my hand
I’ll swim to the bottom, I don’t care if I drown
I’m going against the flow when you’re around
Trying not to judge me, always showing up so late
They know I’m not a coward
But when the light goes out, it’s all laid bare
That I’m made of glass, that the wind carries me
Pretending doesn’t fill me up, today I only find problems
And no one asks me where I am
It’s all a horror story
I’ll cross the street even if the light is red if you hold my hand
I’ll swim to the bottom, I don’t care if I drown
I’m going against the flow when you’re around (ah—ah, ah—ah, ah)
At a hundred thirty (ah—ah, ah—ah, ah)
Like the heartbeat (ah—ah, ah—ah, ah)
Before it stops beating
In slow motion (ah—ah, ah—ah, ah)
I feel like I’m falling off the balcony (ah—ah, ah—ah, ah)
And what you say isn’t true
I’ll cross the street even if the light is red if you hold my hand
