Colour Of The Trap Lyrics

If you just get it together and read my mind
Then sleeping will be easy.
And then I'll be there to acquiesce
I confess I'm in trouble

Another afternoon of increments,
And asking the wrong questions.
Then you get up and leave again,
Just as the evening, threatens to set.

Consider this now it's not too late,
I have watched you change
The colour of the trap before girl
I have learned to wait.

Most of the things that you say
I don't understand but I will sit and listen.
I nod along attentively,
But the truth is I can't concentrate.

Consider this now it's not too late
I have watched you change
The colour of the trap before girl
I have learned to wait.

Make no mistake
I have learned to wait
And you have learned that you can make me
I need something to sort me out
I need someone to come and shake me
And your exit calms me down
Before it infuriates me
Girl I'm in troubleï¿½
Wish you'd just get it together and read my mind

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song reminds me of this girl I like, really like and see often. However, she does not know I really like her. "I confess I'm in trouble" - she has a boyfriend, damn. "I have learned to wait." - yep, cause I may never tell her. "And your exit calms me down" - of course for a moment, but then I miss her. Finally: "I need someone to come and shake me"- yep, sometimes you just play alone.. <3 good song
