There's a warning in the comfort
Laying to good to be true
They tell me over and over 
There's someone better for you
You've don woke up feel the sun beamin'
And the fear of growing cold
The continual reminder 
of the risk we take when we get involved 
I've been warned enough
You were the only red flag 
The only red flag that I could never raise 
You were the only red flag 
The only red flag that I could never raise 
With the days to keep them running
When are long begin to sting 
I'm hearing over and over 
'bout a ration in our veins
So love won't forgive me 
If I cannot stow this now
When my body tends to weakness 
Your voice will be the sound 
That conceals the pain 
You were the only red flag 
The only red flag that I could never raise 
You were the only red flag 
The only red flag that I could never raise 
Love is a one way street 
Headed away from me 
Love is a one way street 
headed away from me
Away from me, yea 
You were the only red flag 
The only red flag that I could never raise 
You were the only red flag 
The only red flag that I could never raise 
Love is a one way street 
Headed away from me 
Love is a one way street 
Headed away from me
