"Red Flags" lyrics

I'm a sucker for them red flags
I think you've got me hooked
Like some trophy catch
I took the bait and I blame the looks
I'm a sucker for a bad thing
Tryna find a little good, yeah
By now you think I know each page
I wrote the book

Yeah, well now I don't wanna miss misunderstood
Tryna start a flame with some burnt out wood
Tired of playin' games, I know I can't win
But rack 'em up, play again
I'm a sucker for a red flag
I'm right up for the challenge
You want I chase off whiskey straight
That might help me catch my balance

They say my heart knows what it wants
It just don't know what it means
But you're thinking what you want
What you get is what you see
If you pour me something strong, say I love you wistfully
Thought the problem all along was you, but now I think it's me

I remember all the lights that led to that first date
When we hit that little town for your birthday
You were my best friend, but in the worst way
That took you from a nine to a five like a work day
Red flags, now I'm waving a white
You got me fighting for my life like you Dana White
I used to blame you, now I blame me and my specs
'Cause I saw I wasn't right, but I still know I was

Foolish thinking that a little blind face got me seeing straight (seeing straight)
But feeling like I'm close from a ways away (ways away)
How many years we gotta take it day by day (day by day)
How many times I gotta be something for you, I ain't (something for you, I ain't)

They say my heart knows what it wants
It just don't know what it means
What you think and what you want
What you get is what you see
If you pour me something strong, say I love you wistfully
Thought the problem all along was you, but now I think it's me
