Red Rose

Let me guess it was the motorbike

Dark hair, leather jacket, hazel eyes

Never would I ever bring him home to Mamma

She'd just say girl I warned ya

He was all the things that my friends said

He sure had me convinced

I was the only thing worth saving

By a knight in shining armour with guns a blazin'

Two wheels rolling, could smell the smokin'

I was raised to play it safe

That's such a lonely game

I was foolish for thinking I could Be the one to make him change

I could see the petty in the petals

And I'm not ready to settle

There's one thing I still don't know

Why does a red flag look a lot like a red rose?

Look a lot like a red rose

Let me guess he'll want one more try

Swore he'd changed, stick around this time

Daddy said honey, he's not worth the gas

Bad things are never meant to last

All while knowin', where this ain't goin'

I was raised to play it safe

That's such a lonely game

I was foolish for thinking I could Be the one to make him change

I could see the petty in the petals

And I'm not ready to settle

There's one thing I still don't know

Why does a red flag look a lot like a red rose?

Look a lot like a red rose

Red rose

Why does the rain come with a rainbow

Why does a red flag look like a red rose

If the truth really sets you free

Why's it so hard to leave

I was raised to play it safe

And that's a lonely game

I was foolish for thinking I could Be the one to make him change

Yeah I could see the petty in the petals

And I'm just not ready to settle

But there's one thing that now I know

A red flag won't ever turn into a red rose

Won't ever turn into a red rose

Red rose

Won't ever turn into a red rose
