“Sometimes people we love don’t treat us how we hope they will. Sometimes we accept their love due to lack of love for ourselves. ‘Red’ is about realising this very sentiment, and mustering the strength to walk away from someone who doesn’t treat you how you deserve to be treated.

[Verse 1]
It's barely winter yet
You bare your teeth all red
You surely understand
Why I can't be your friend
I'd barely woken up
To not being strong enough
To withstand your painful love
Been yelled at twice this month
[Pre-Chorus]
"I don't wanna go to work today"
Is what you used to say
Used to say
[Chorus]
I don't want to spend my life in worry
And no, I don't want to watch you smoke a durry
I've got things to do, things to do today
And I fucking hate it when you blow it in my face
[Verse 2]
You have your eyes on red
I might just phone a friend
If you hadn't sheltered me from them
If you weren't so jealous of every fucking thing
[Pre-Chorus]
"I don't wanna see my psych today"
Is what I used to say
'Cause I was ashamed of how I stayed after how you behaved
[Chorus]
I don't want to spend my life in worry (Life in worry)
And no, I don't want to watch you smoke a durry (Smoke a durry)
I've got things to do, things to do today
(Things to do, things to do)
And I fucking hate it when you blow it in my face
(Fucking hate it when you blow it in my face)
[Outro]
I've got things to do, things to do today
(I've got things to do, things to do today)
I've got some things to do, some things to do today
(Some things to do, some things to do)
I've got things to do, things to do today
(I've got things to do, things to do today)
I've got things to do, things to do today
And I don't want you to stay
