Red Flags

Sittin' here on this floor
I could never wish for more
Cause you and I both know what you did

Every time I look at you
I feel like I am going to
Places I have never seen before

Giving you a little of me
And I will hold on to the little pieces that I really see

This light I have within myself
It is something that I can't hold back
Gotta let it breathe

You do what you want to... and I'll do what I need
Don't let it go easy
Maybe we'll have something real

Never say goodbye to the man inside
Who says "you can be more than what you feel"

But you would never try to
You always let go of the voices inside your brain
You said that I was good
You said you didn't deserve... anything that I had to bring

But then there were some days you'd hold back
And I felt like I lost all of me
What am I doing here?
Who am I talking to?
And why can I not see?

You tried to let go of everything that we know
And I tried to just let you grieve
But every time you come on back.say that it would be better
But honestly... I wish that you would just leave

You would never let go of things from your past and I guess that was the first red-flag
Holdin' on to me every single day and single night
And I realized should be single alright

I saw all of the red flags in you but I ignored them and let them all and let them burn
Sometimes I keep awake at night
'Cause we were the ones who would never learn

Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let the fire make you concerned
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
Both of us should really be concerned
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
Maybe then you'll take a turn
At changing your life a little more
Than what you just say with words

Actions speak louder than the words coming from your mouth
And I think you and I can both agree on that
Maybe if you let go of the things that are hauntin' you
We can have something more than this

I'm cool with
Bein' alone
But honestly it's somethin' that I've outgrown
And I don't know why
But I think that I
Should really give it a try

You would always hold on to the pieces that you hate about you
And I said that you could just leave
But those words scared you so you ran away from me
And now all we have are broken needs

Can't grow from this love
Already asked heaven above
And I don't think that's where you are from
Cause if you were a fallen angel
I think I would try to tame you
But I don't think it would really stick
Cause I think you're a fallen angel
I've tried so hard to tame you
But you can't save someone from hell

Cause demons and angels look a lot less sane
When you just see what you want

Devils and angels are the same when you look at them
You just see what you want
Devils and angels are the same when you hold them
And at night they feel all the same

In the dark they are all the same
I don't care who you blame
You and I can visually see
You were never
You were never
You and I were never meant to be
