Red Flag Turned White

How quickly you said I love you Yet you were always two strides ahead Leaving me in your shadow Walking where you tread Red Flag Waving I saw something in your eyes That I dismissed as innocence Never questioning the absent gleam Ignoring common sense Red Flag Waving All the times you said you’d call Sitting by a phone that never rings I just assumed you got tied up With more important things Red Flag Waving You kissed me ever so gently Promising a quick return The sun rose on an empty bed The pain inside did burn Red Flag Waving A final flag did wave that night No longer was I blinded I had succumb to the reality Our love was just one sided White Flag Waving
