Red Flags



They'd been appearing since the beginning,
Those red flags I packed away.
I did all I could to ignore them,
Though they insisted that they should stay.

Not too far below the surface,
Just enough so I couldn't forget.
Loitering in my weakest moments,
The red flags id soon come to regret.

I tried thinking of all the good things,
The fun, the companion, the carefree.
But all of those things didn't mean anything,
When you took someone else, and that someone wasn't me.

Should have listened to my instincts,
Asked the questions, called you out.
But instead, you played me for the fool,
Now all I really wanna do is shout.

Tell you how you made me feel,
How you ripped and tore away my heart.
But you don't care now anyway,
Since I'm done, I’m finished, now I've played my part.

So fuck you I say, I'm moving on,
Won't let that happen to me again.
I’ll grow a stronger, deeper, wiser heart,

For someone else better than you, times 10.
