"I See Red" lyrics

"I See Red"

I keep my rage like I have a secret
It gets hidden with yoga and drinking
Sometimes that makes it worse, it hurts
Sometimes that makes it worse, it hurts
Therapy's kind 'til it makes you wanna die
With everything you just can't change
Just learn to be okay
Gotta learn to be okay if things stay the same

And I'm only human
And I slam doors around with all I can
And I'm only learning
Just to live, you gotta chill out
Calm down and breathe again

I, I see red, I know that I can
Be a better lover, be a better friend
If you keep crying wolf
No one cares if you keep on falling, keep on falling

I'm nerving towards the end
A pain returns I can't name
Before I know, I see red again
And my path is fire while I run in tears
I'm lost for seconds, I'm lost for years
I see her face in my sudden screams

And I'm only human
As I slam doors around with all I can
And I'm only learning
The same mistakes, I make them
Again and again and again and again

I, I see red, I know that I can
Be a better lover, be a better friend
If you keep crying wolf
No one cares if you keep on falling, keep on falling
I, I see red, I know that I can
Be a better lover, be a better friend
If you keep crying wolf
No one cares if you keep on falling, keep on falling

They've been calling it a breakdown
Replicating how you feel pain
Be nice to rise above the storm inside
Disappointing as a lifestyle
It feels good to know I tried hard
Change the things I've grown to think I can't

I, I see red, I know that I can
Be a better lover, be a better friend
If you keep crying wolf
No one cares if you keep on falling, keep on falling
I, I see red, I know that I can
Be a better lover, be a better friend
If you keep crying wolf
No one cares if you keep on falling, keep on falling

"'I See Red' was written after an argument with my sister," says Star Kendrick on the single. "The song was a realisation that you are only ever your most raw, horrible self when you're with the people you love to death and who love you."
