My mama warned me about you
She always said I was better off with somebody new
I hate how right she always is, but it’s true
I don't have time for me and you
So I've kept my distance from you
Cause I've decided you don't have a clue
And if you don't know what you want, I can't be here
Cause I’ll lose sight of what I’m after, too
I need to pay more attention to the warning signs
I need to find what’s right for me and leave what’s not right
You waved all these red flags
But I was blinded by your beauty
You walked in like a dark light
That I didn't welcome in
I should’ve listened to those red flags
Now I'm haunted by your name
How far do I need to go to get away from you
Will a ticket to Italy bring me back from being blue
I thought if I escaped my world for a couple days
I would be free of you
I need to pay more attention to the warning signs
I need to find what’s right for me and leave what’s not right
You waved all these red flags
But I was blinded by your beauty
You walked in like a dark light
That I didn't welcome in
I should’ve listened to those red flags
Now I'm haunted by your name
It never happens like it should
My head starts to make a run for it
Never works how you thought it would
And when your heart is stained, it seems to remain
You waved all these red flags
But I was blinded by your beauty
You walked in like a dark light
That I didn't welcome in
I should’ve listened to those red flags
Now I'm haunted by your name
