Lyrics
Is it a red flag
Expressing doubt or concern about a potential issue.
That you don't call me when you're bored
Not receiving calls during idle moments raises suspicion.
That we're both halfway out the door
Both partners seem ready to end the relationship.
That I don't know you like I did before
Feeling a lack of familiarity and connection with the partner.
Is it a bad sign
Suggesting a negative omen or warning.
I've started sorting in my head
Organizing thoughts about what to take if leaving.
What I would take if I left
Considering possessions to keep after a potential breakup.
You'd keep the cat and we'd figure out the rest
Mentioning a cat, a potential point of contention in a separation.
'Cause I know it's overrated being lonely
Recognizing the common feeling of loneliness but questioning its worth.
But it's gotta be better than being lonely with somebody
Weighing the trade-off between solitude and an unfulfilling relationship.
And you know I only want you to be happy
Expressing a desire for the partner's happiness.
So it's probably a red flag
Suspecting that the relationship is no longer fulfilling.
That we're not happy anymore
Acknowledging a decline in happiness within the relationship.
Is that a white flag
Symbolizing surrender or acceptance of the situation.
That you've got there in your hand
Noticing a gesture indicating readiness to end things.
I didn't think this was the plan
Realizing that the current situation was not the planned outcome.
But if I'm honest I understand
Understanding the partner's perspective with honesty.
And hypothetically
Considering a theoretical scenario of sharing memories after a split.
We'll share custody of our memories
Discussing a potential arrangement for shared memories.
I'll let you have the good ones
Choosing to let the partner keep the positive memories on specific occasions.
On Halloween and New Year's Eve
Designating certain days for the partner to cherish good memories.
'Cause I know it's overrated being lonely
Reiterating the common sentiment about the drawbacks of loneliness.
But it's gotta be better than being lonely with somebody
Exploring the balance between solitude and unfulfilling companionship.
And you know I only want you to be happy
Expressing the genuine desire for the partner's happiness.
So it's probably a red flag
Reaffirming the suspicion that the relationship is no longer happy.
That we're not happy anymore
Concluding that the current state of the relationship is unsatisfactory.
