Red Rose

Let me guess it was the motorbike
Dark hair, leather jacket, hazel eyes
Never would I ever bring him home to Mamma
She'd just say girl I warned ya

He was all the things that my friends said
He sure had me convinced
I was the only thing worth saving
By a knight in shining armour with guns a blazin'

Two wheels rolling, could smell the smokin'

I was raised to play it safe
That's such a lonely game
I was foolish for thinking I could Be the one to make him change
I could see the petty in the petals
And I'm not ready to settle
There's one thing I still don't know
Why does a red flag look a lot like a red rose?
Look a lot like a red rose

Let me guess he'll want one more try
Swore he'd changed, stick around this time
Daddy said honey, he's not worth the gas
Bad things are never meant to last

All while knowin', where this ain't goin'

I was raised to play it safe
That's such a lonely game
I was foolish for thinking I could Be the one to make him change
I could see the petty in the petals
And I'm not ready to settle
There's one thing I still don't know
Why does a red flag look a lot like a red rose?
Look a lot like a red rose

Red rose

Why does the rain come with a rainbow
Why does a red flag look like a red rose
If the truth really sets you free
Why's it so hard to leave

I was raised to play it safe
And that's a lonely game
I was foolish for thinking I could Be the one to make him change
Yeah I could see the petty in the petals
And I'm just not ready to settle
But there's one thing that now I know
A red flag won't ever turn into a red rose
Won't ever turn into a red rose
Red rose
Won't ever turn into a red rose
