Red Flag Revival

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You said “I’m fine” Eyes told a different story Coffee gone cold Hands shaking on the table I held my breath Afraid to name the danger Every “it’s nothing” Cut me like a cable [Pre-Chorus] How many chances Did we cash like small change? How many warnings Did we laugh away? All of these fragments Spinning in my brain I can’t stay silent I won’t fade to gray [Chorus] So I raise my red flag high Higher than my hurt Higher than my pride (oh, oh) If it’s the end then let it burn in the light I’m done staying quiet just to keep you satisfied I raise my red flag high Let it fly like a prayer in the sky If love is real it’s gonna meet me eye to eye So I raise my red flag I raise my red flag high [Verse 2] You twist the truth Into pretty little patterns Sweet on your tongue Bitter in the aftertaste You call it love But it feels like I’m in shackles Dress it in flowers Still smells like decay [Pre-Chorus] How many secrets Can a heart keep hiding? How long can mercy Cover up the crime? I see the storm In the mirror behind me This time I’m walking Straight into the light [Chorus] So I raise my red flag high Higher than my hurt Higher than my pride (yeah, yeah) If it’s the end then let it burn in the light I’m done staying quiet just to keep you satisfied I raise my red flag high Let it fly like a prayer in the sky If love is real it’s gonna meet me eye to eye So I raise my red flag I raise my red flag high [Bridge] I won’t be your Sunday saint Your Monday sacrifice I won’t trade my soul away To stay on your good side If standing up means standing alone Then I’ll stand tall tonight (yeah) I’ll stand tall tonight [Chorus] And I’ll raise my red flag high Higher than my hurt Higher than my pride (oh, oh) If it’s the end then let it burn in the light I’m done staying quiet just to keep you satisfied I raise my red flag high Let it fly like a prayer in the sky If love is real it’s gonna meet me eye to eye So I raise my red flag I raise my red flag high
