A warm body takes precedence
Over genuine connection
Tell your friends that they're the one
When you get a crumb of affection
These red flags become roses
Such a vibrant bouquet
You'll never ever question
When you drive your friends away
Stand up straight and focus strong
On whoever throws you a bone
It's not romance it's not love
But you can't bear to be alone
When it's all over said and done
Turns out they're not the one
Everyone you once held dear
Disappeared when it begun
Thousands of memories
You've made over the years
Burned up into ashes
It's like they were never here.
How many times will you have to fall
To learn to stand up for yourself?
This was never about falling in love.
A warm body takes precedence
Over genuine connection
Tell your friends that they're the one
While you stare at your reflection
Those red flags became roses
Such a violent bouquet
You never ever questioned
The way they said your name
