Red Flags Lyrics

I know that there's no restitution, babe

I'll never return to the person I once knew

Don't say you made no contribution, babe

I let you burn right through, my heart isn't fireproof

And if I focus for a moment on the day that we met

And really pay attention to the words that you said

Would I recognize that compromise

Would really only ever mean my sacrifice?

And if I wasn't so distracted by the shape of your lips,

The curve of your smile, the sound of you listing

All the ways you worship me

Maybe I would figure out exactly

Where my walls came down

And my head was filled with your lies

I must admit, I wanted to believe it

A perfect match, a fairy tale distracted

From all your lies

Yeah I guess I was blind

Til your true colors flashed

Now all I see are red flags

The things you used to love about me

Now you say they're a weakness

And I told you I'd work on it

Now I've forgotten who I am

I let you burn me down, but I'm taking back my crown

You use me like I am a prop

To paint a pretty picture of the person you're not

You can fool them and kid yourself

Can't wait to hear you blame this on my mental health

It's true I was crazy for you

But you're not what I thought

You were just pretending

I must admit, I wanted to believe it

A perfect match, the fairy tale distracted me

From all your lies

Yeah I was blind

Til your true colors flashed

Now you got me seeing red

I admit, I've been holding onto promises

That you won't keep unless I'm trying to leave

No there's no happy ending here

And I'm done spending tears for all we had

Cause now all I see are red flags

I'm seeing red

Yeah, you got me seeing red

I'm onto you

I must admit, I wanted to believe it

A perfect match, a fairy tale distracted

From all your lies

Yeah I guess I was blind

Til your true colors flashed

And now I'm seeing red

No there's no happy ending here

I'm done spending tears for all we had

Cause now all I see are red flags

I'm seeing red
