[Intro]
1, 2

[Verse 1]
I don't know when it became a contest
Of who could care less
Kinda confused, when did it get cool
To let you keep me on edge

[Pre-Chorus]
Content with the lack of attention
Grateful for drunken affection
Taking what's left instead of starting again
S'like I've rewired my head to accept, to accept that

[Chorus]
Birthdays, mistakes are for forgetting
Heartaches, headaches are for expecting
Asking questions makes you mad
And I will always take you back and
Red flags, red flags are for collecting

[Verse 2]
I don't know when I lowered my standards
So much I can't see
I fill up all of my closets with all your broken promises
And your insecurities

[Pre-Chorus]
My self-inflicted afflictions
Always so caught in convictions
Taking what's left instead of starting again
S'like I've rewired my head to accept, to accept that

[Chorus]
Birthdays, mistakes are for forgetting
Heartaches, headaches are for expecting
Asking questions makes you mad
And I will always take you back and
Red flags, red flags are for collecting

[Bridge]
Whatever happened to what I need, I need
Whatever happened to what I want, I want
How come you never ask what I need, I need
It's all I really wanted

[Chorus]
Birthdays, mistakes are for forgetting (forgetting, baby)
Heartaches, headaches are for expecting, oh
Asking questions makes you mad
And I will always take you back and
Red flags, red flags are for collecting

[Outro]
Red flags are for collecting, no
Red flags
