Red Flags

I came stumbling over the hills
Leaving behind a life I won't reveal
I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
It's tattered beyond repair it seems
I'm not here to make "Friends"
So, stay away, I'm not your type

Can't you see I'm not worth the chase
I'm just a lost cause, a disgrace
Starting fresh far from my pain
I'm a storm front and I'm trailing rain

I clothe myself in my red flags
They're meant to scare you away
Not make you come charging in
You (big) beautiful stupid bull

My filter's busted, words tumble out
A chaotic mess, with a social disease
Trip over my tongue, blurt out shit I shouldn't
Expose my cracks, and fall on my knees
This world's a movie, I'm an extra
In a foreign film with an awful script
But you seem to dig the dysfunction

I clothe myself in my red flags
They're meant to scare you away
Not make you come charging in
You (big) beautiful stupid bull

Normally, I scoff at the pretty boys
The ones with sculpted physiques
Light brown skin and charming patois
Whispering sweet words like a breeze
With you, it feels different tonight
Temptation whispers that it's alright

I clothe myself in my red flags
They're meant to scare you away
Not make you come charging in
You (big) beautiful stupid bull

I've shown you my red flags
Tried to push you away
But you're still standing there
Refusing to sway
So, let's take this to my room
Close the door, dim the light
I'll ride you like I stole you
No cares of if it's right
