[Verse 1]
I'll never understand how you call yourself a man
With your hands wrapped around my throat
Pushing me around, kick me when I'm down
How could anybody be so cold
[Pre-Chorus]
All the signs kept telling me that I should fucking run
I just kept avoiding and mistaking it for love
'Cause my heart won't believe when my brain is telling me to leave
[Chorus]
So I made a promise, I wouldn't fall for this
I'll never let you haunt me again
If I'm being honest, we never could solve this
I hate that I fell back in your bed
I finally see the red flags, blood red
Red flags, blood red
Red flags, blood red
Red flags, blood red
[Verse 2]
You smile when I'm scared, pull me by my hair
Hide the bruises, wipe the tears
Then shower me with flowers, begging me for hours
To say nothing happened here
[Pre-Chorus]
All the signs kept telling me that I should fucking run
I just kept avoiding and mistaking it for love
'Cause my heart won't believe when my brain is telling me to leave
[Chorus]
So I made a promise, I wouldn't fall for this
I'll never let you haunt me again
If I'm being honest, we never could solve this
I hate that I fell back in your bed
I finally see the red flags, blood red (Oh-oh)
Red flags, blood red (Oh-oh)
Red flags, blood red (Oh-oh)
Red flags, blood red (Oh-oh)
[Post-Chorus]
Red flags, blood red
Red flags, blood red
Red flags, blood red
Red flags, blood red, red, red, red, red
[Bridge]
I'll never understand how you call yourself a man
With your hands wrapped around my throat
I'll never understand how you call yourself a man
With your hands wrapped around my throat
[Chorus]
So I made a promise, I wouldn't fall for this
I'll never let you haunt me again
If I'm being honest, we never could solve this
I hate that I fell back in your bed
I finally see the red flags, blood red (Oh-oh)
Red flags, blood red (Oh-oh)
Red flags, blood red (Oh-oh)
Red flags, blood red
