Lyrics

“I used to think love was supposed to hurt a little.
Like… if it felt too easy, it wasn’t real.
But now I know…
It wasn’t love.
It was just red flags…
And I kept walking through 'em like they weren’t waving.”
 
You said it wasn’t what it looked like
But it always looked the same
Late replies, empty eyes
Always had a new excuse to blame
My friends were tryna warn me
But I thought I knew your heart
Held on tight to every “sorry”
While you kept tearing me apart
You said she was “just a friend”
But her name stayed on your tongue
Every message, every like
Felt like I was the only one
Who didn’t see it clear
Didn’t wanna face the truth
Kept believing in the version
You only gave me in the booth
 
Red flags all in my face
But I waved ‘em like a parade
Thought your love was just delayed
Now I’m the one that walked away
I was colorblind for you
Called the warnings “shades of new”
But baby, now I see the truth
And it's red, red, red all over you
 
You turned silence into tension
Had me questioning my mind
Made me feel like I was trippin’
Every single time I’d cry
I covered up the bruises
Even when they weren’t skin-deep
Kept on giving you my nights
While you were loving in the streets
I waited up on birthdays
Left food cold more than once
Thought the fight was just a phase
But baby, that was just the front
And I—I blamed myself
For the love you couldn’t give
Now I’m walking out with nothing
But at least I finally live
 
Red flags all in my face
But I waved ‘em like a parade
Thought your love was just delayed
Now I’m the one that walked away
I was colorblind for you
Called the warnings “shades of new”
But baby, now I see the truth
And it's red, red, red all over you
Love don’t leave you guessing
Love don’t hide its hands
You gave me pain in pieces
And called it part of the plan
Your charm was just a mask
That I wore to feel enough
But this chapter’s finally closing
You lost someone who loved tough
 
“No more flags, no more fights
No more tears in sleepless nights
I saw what I needed to see…
Even if it took me too long.”
But I’m done now… and I’m gone."
