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
