From the recording Melancholy Blues (Extended Play)
Lyrics
Red Flags
Incognito Written by Aundrea Alexander Radford
Performed by Paper Heart
It was your idea
For me to get her something special
Something to get her attention
So, she’d know I was alive
It worked so well
But all in your favor
How did you end up wearing
The ring I gave her
Every story has an ending
Every heart can be broken
You turn on the radio and that’s all you hear
I was the one in the middle
Who became the villain
When all I wanted was to have someone near
Now I see the red flags flying
I couldn’t see them at the time
Now that the damage is done
Everyone thinks I’ve lost my mind
It seems I’m the only one
Who recalls what happened that day
Even my closest friends
Who were in the same room
Remember things in a different way
Hurt will make you do things
Out of character without a doubt
Makes you regret things you did
When you somehow black out
Every story has an ending
Every heart can be broken
You turn on the radio and that’s all you hear
I was the one in the middle
Who became the villain
When all I wanted was to have someone near
Now I see the red flags flying
I couldn’t see them at the time
Now that the damage is done
Everyone thinks I’ve lost my mind
Everything about getting to know you was too easy
Then you made me feel so empty, hmm
I didn’t get a chance to put up my walls
You saw right through me
It almost destroyed it all, hmm
Every story has an ending
Every heart can be broken
You turn on the radio and that’s all you hear
I was the one in the middle
Who became the villain
When all I wanted was to have someone near
Now I see the red flags flying
I couldn’t see them at the time
Now that the damage is done
Everyone thinks I’ve lost my mind
Now I see the red flags flying
I couldn’t see them at the time
Now that the damage is done
Everyone thinks I’ve lost my mind
Now I see the red flags flying
I couldn’t see them at the time
I couldn’t see them at the time
Now that the damage is done
Everyone thinks I’ve lost my mind
