[Chorus]
Red flags, show me who you are
Yeah, yeah
All bad, boy, you took it too far
Can't keep ignoring the signs
And that's the bottom line
Actions tell the truth every time
And I believed the lies
[Verse 1]
Visit me on the low
Picking me up, I'll let you know
Acting like my heart not broke
Is it my time, time to let go?
I don't wanna be here anymore
When I see your face, you remind me of my mistakes
I don't wanna stay, don't wanna go (Oh)
[Chorus]
Red flags, show me who you are
Yeah, yeah
All bad, boy, you took it too far
Can't keep ignoring the signs
And that's the bottom line
Actions tell the truth every time
And I believed the lies (Ah)
[Verse 2]
How did we fall off? (Fall)
Where did we go wrong? (Go wrong)
Still tryna hold on (Hold on)
Left me all alone
Me, myself and I
Made this house a home
But I can't stop thinkin' about you when you're gone
[Outro]
It was a fast "no," turned into a slow "yes"
Now I know, don't wanna miss out on this
You said, "Don't go," oh, every time that I try to leave
'Cause you can't stop thinking about, thinking about me
Red Flags was written by Tinashe & Eric Bellinger & LIOHN & John Alexis.
Red Flags was produced by John Alexis & LIOHN.
I think it’s keeping your eyes open and also acknowledging and noticing all the signs that are around you. I think a lot of times we try to ignore them or push them to the side but this song is kind of about, I guess, maybe holding yourself accountable to knowing that you noticed.
