red flag pretty

Mm…

Yeah

I saw it coming

Don’t need to tell me no

Verse 1

You walk like trouble in a fashion spread

Gloss on your lips, but I read what’s said

Sugar talk, yeah, I taste the lie

Every girl special — yeah, that’s your alibi

Play the victim like it’s couture

Misunderstood, so insecure

Got the face, the hair, the pain on cue

That little act?

Yeah, I see through you

You say you hate being alone

So tell me why your phone

Never goes cold

Pre-Chorus

I clocked your game, every move you make

I don’t fall — I calculate

You think I’m hooked, but I already know

I’m not the one you can control

Wave your red flag pretty

(Pretty, pretty please)

Na na na na na na

I saw the warning signs

Na na na na na na

But I used them like a knife

Cut through the night

Na na na na na na

Venom in your grin

Yeah, I know you’re a sin

And I don’t lose to sins

Red flag up

Hands clean

I don’t fall for kings with dirty schemes

You know exactly when to pull them close

Then you vanish when they need you most

Classic move, yeah, déjà vu

But that trick don’t work on someone who’s you-proof

You call it freedom, call it youth

I call it running from the truth

Every promise got an exit sign

You never stay, you never stand the time

Say you’re “honest,” say you’re “real”

Funny how that’s nothing I feel

I don’t chase, I don’t beg, I don’t pretend

This is where your story ends

Pre-Chorus 2

I wanted depth, you wanted fun

I wanted one — you wanted none

Read the signs in flashing red

Didn’t ignore them — I armed myself instead

Na na na na na na, ooh

Yeah

Chorus

Wave your red flag pretty

(Pretty, pretty please)

Na na na na na na

I saw the warning signs

Yeah, I saw them every time

But I used them like a blade

Sharp in the dark

Na na na na na na

Venom in your grin

Yeah, I know you’re a sin

And I don’t lose to sins

I know

Oh, I know

Every lie you sold

I know

How you move

Every heart you broke

But I’m not her

Not tonight

I don’t fall —

I finish fights

Wave your red flag pretty

(Pretty please)

Na na na na na na

I saw the warning signs

When you looked me in the eyes

But I turned your highs to dust

Left you in the night

Venom in your grin

Yeah, I know you’re a sin

Mm…

Yeah, I know

I know you’re a sin

And this is where I win

Red flag raised.

Lesson learned.

Walk away while it still hurts.
