I'm already at a loss
You're an ocean I can't cross
And my heart will pay the cost
I know you're about to lure me in
Say the water is safe to swim
Let the story now begin
'Cause I can see the red flags waving
But I know my heart is caving in
I can see there's just no saving me
There's no way out, I'm going in
I wanna be good but I'm gonna be bad
'Cause I can see the red flags waving
I can see the red flags waving
Nobody but myself to blame
Like a moth dives to the flame
I can not keep my hands clean
Even though every sign says "save yourself"
Read the warnings to my health
I don't wanna help myself
'Cause I can see the red flags waving
But I know my heart is caving in
I can see there's just no saving me
There's no way out, I'm going in
I want to be good but I'm gonna be bad
'Cause I can see the red flags waving
I can see the red flags waving
I wanna be smart
Want to protect my heart
From pain along the way
But I can't hold back
Gonna step on the cracks
I just can't play it safe
I can't play it safe
'Cause I can see the red flags waving
But I know my heart is caving in
I can see there's just no saving me
There's no way out, I'm going in
I wanna be good but I'm gonna be bad
'Cause I can see the red flags waving
I can see the red flags waving
I can see the red flags waving, waving
I can see the red flags waving
