[Verse 1]
You said love me now, and it's understood
Not it wouldn't work, and it never could
Every single day was another lie
You had every chance, I guess your tongue was tied
But in case it wasn't, and you're still wondering
Why I'm upset and my heart is punctured
And you can't fake it, there's no mistaking
You couldn't take it

[Chorus]
'Cause I could have used a warning sign, I could have used something
To let me know it's not all fine, and you're leaving me instead
You said it would be alright, it's all in my head
So there weren't sirens in my mind, on the day you left

[Post-Chorus]
When I could have used a warning sign
(Woah oh, oh, ooh)
When I could have used a warning sign
(Woah oh, oh, ooh)
Yeah I could have used a warning sign
(Woah oh, oh, ooh)
Yeah I could have used a warning sign
(Woah oh, oh, ooh-ooh, yeah)
[Verse 2]
If you had said anything at all
None of this would've happened, at least a call
Or did you break your phone?
While you were running off
I guess you forgot, I'm comfortable in war
So let the rain in, it’s pretty ain't it?
You can say it, and save us pain in
The perfect downfall, ain't know it at all
In the end I guess you needed more

[Refrain]
And I pray you're doing much better
Taking everybody's heart with your beretta
Shots ringing out over your vendetta
But spilled blood don't make you better
And I pray you're doing much better
Taking everybody's heart with your beretta
Shots ringing out over your vendetta
But spilled blood don't make you

[Bridge]
'Cause I could have used a signal
I could have used one try, so I could convince you to stay for one more night
But you didn't listen, I had no chance to say
That my life will never be the same, if you don't stay
[Chorus]
'Cause I could have used a warning sign, I could have used something
To let me know it's not all fine, and you're leaving me instead
You said it would be alright, it's all in my head
So there weren't sirens in my mind, on the day you left
When I could have used a warning sign

[Refrain]
And I pray you're doing much better
Taking everybody's heart with your beretta
Shots ringing out over your vendetta
But spilled blood don't make you better

And I pray you're doing much better
Taking everybody's heart with your beretta
Shots ringing out over your vendetta
But spilled blood don't make you better

[Post-Chorus]
When I could have used a warning sign
(Woah oh, oh, ooh)
When I could have used a warning sign
(Woah oh, oh, ooh)
Yeah I could have used a warning sign
(Woah oh, oh, ooh)
Yeah I could have used a warning sign
(Woah oh, oh, ooh-ooh)
