[Verse 1]
If I told my friends I didn't hate you, they would hate me because
They were the ones who had to pick up all the broken pieces
Of your infidelity and all my insecurities
Somehow, I've turned a nightmare to a dream (Ah-ah)

[Verse 2]
If I told my brothers I still loved you, they would kick me out the house
'Cause they're the ones who hear the songs about the times you'd scream and shout
They say I'm better off, why settle for something so wrong?
Oh, why the hell can't I just move on?

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know we were years ago
And I know it was bloody, and bruised, and oh so cold
'Cause

[Chorus]
You took the red flags and set them on fire
Oh, you took a nice girl and made her a liar
Oh, you gave me cloudy days
And told me that there was no better weather (Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh)
Yeah, we were drowning and you took the lifeboat
I was suffocating on your second-hand smoke
But everything you did, after everyone who knows
If you called me today, I would come back tomorrow
[Verse 3]
The other day, I played my mum a song I wrote about you
After it ended, she asked, "is everything in that true?"
I said, "it's only fiction", rather that than have her listen
I'm still saving you from owning your decisions

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know we were years ago
And I know it was bloody, and bruised, and oh so cold
'Cause

[Chorus]
You took the red flags and set them on fire
Oh, you took a nice girl and made her a liar
Oh, you gave me cloudy days
And told me that there was no better weather (Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh)
Yeah, we were drowning and you took the lifeboat
I was suffocating on your second-hand smoke
But everything you did, after everyone who knows
If you called me today, I would come back tomorrow

[Bridge]
And I tried my best to stand my ground
Remind myself how you let me down
But you're all I know, so I keep hold
Oh, I keep hold of a little bit of hope
But
[Chorus]
You took the red flags and set them on fire
Oh, you took a nice girl and made her a liar
You gave me cloudy days
And told me that there was no better weather
Yeah, we were drowning and you took the lifeboat
I was suffocating on your second-hand smoke
But everything you did, after everyone who knows
If you called me today, I would come back tomorrow

[Outro]
Don't call me today, 'cause I'll come back tomorrow
