Red Flags and Broken Dreams

Yeah, I thought I was fine, thought I was whole,

But then you came around and played your role.

I was doing great, living my life,

Never needed love, never wanted a fight.

But you stepped in, with that charming smile,

Turned my world upside down in just a little while.

There were whispers in the air, shadows in the light,

But I chose to ignore them, thought love felt right.

You'd pull me closer, keep me on a string,

Then leave me guessing, what did love even bring?

Holidays came with your false embrace,

And when the truth hit, I fell from grace.

Red flags waving, but I couldn’t see,

Wrapped in your lies, thought it was just me.

On my birthday, you dropped me cold,

Thought you were my gold, now it's all turning old.

The moments we shared, now they're fading fast,

Thought you were forever, turns out it won’t last.

Your sweet-talk tangled me like a web of deceit,

But deep inside, I felt the heart’s defeat.

You said I was tripping, that it’s all in my head,

But I knew what was real, while you left me for dead.

Days turned to nights, and nights into tears,

I was losing myself, bumping through fears.

With every confession, you twisted the knife,

You ghosted my heart like it was just a game of life.

Red flags waving, but I couldn’t see,

W, thought love felt right.

You'd pull me closer, keep me on a string,

Then leave me guessing, what did love even bring?

Holidays came with your false embrace,

And when the truth hit, I fell from grace.

Red flags waving, but I couldn’t see,

Wrapped in your lies, thought it was just me.

On my birthday, you dropped me cold,

Thought you were my gold, now it's all turning old.

The moments we shared, now they're fading fast,

Thought you were forever, turns out it won’t last.

Your sweet-talk tangled me like a web of deceit,

But deep inside, I felt the heart’s defeat.

You said I was tripping, that it’s all in my head,

But I knew what was real, while you left me for dead.

Days turned to nights, and nights into tears,

I was losing myself, bumping through fears.

With every confession, you twisted the knife,

You ghosted my heart like it was just a game of life.

Red flags waving, but I couldn’t see,

Wrapped in your lies, thought it was just me.

On my birthday, you dropped me cold,

Thought you were my gold, now it's all turning old.

Now I'm picking up pieces, finding my way,

No more keeping you close, I'm done with the play.

I'll rise from the ashes of your tangled mess,

Learned to love me first, now I’m feeling blessed.

Red flags waving, but I couldn’t see,

Wrapped in your lies, thought it was just me.

On my birthday, you dropped me cold,

Thought you were my gold, now it's all turning old.

So here’s to the lessons, the scars I’ve earned,

Finding my way back, the fire has burned.

You were just a chapter, now I’m on my own,

Building my kingdom, finally in my zone.
