Red Flags

Cold summers
And distant stares
No love for me
Got no one to care
But maybe that's all I need

All your words land like
Sweet nothings on my ear
I dance around a feeling
That we know isn't here
Just an illusion of a love story

But I don't know if I like you or
If you like me
Or maybe I just want you cuz you're
In my fantasy

All these red flags I choose
Not to see
I satiate on the attention
You're depriving me

Open up to you
Knowing you won't stay
But it's alright
The ending's always the same
I chase to get my ego bruised
But honey I prefer it that way
Exploit me so
That I can taste desire
You can't hurt me more
I've been through the fire
And baby I like the fumes
Leave me with your ghost so you don't have to stay

Fuck being a hopeless romantic
Nobody wants this skin to begin with
And even if you could love me
I'd rather take the alternative

But I don't know if I like you or
If you like me
Or maybe you just want me cuz I'm
In your fantasy

All these red flags I choose
Not to see
Cuz you're not here forever and your
Pleasure's on me

I'm not ur kind of lover
Let's exist in this fleeting moment together

Sorry dear I know
I'm not the one you wanted to be with tonight

But perhaps one day
We could be friends
And dance the pain away

But I don't know if I like you or
If you like me
Or maybe I just need you cuz you're
In my fantasy

All these red flags I choose
Not to see
Cuz I don't need a lover
Just somebody who wants me
