Lyrics Warning Sign

Warning Sign by Coldplay discusses regret and acknowledgment of past mistakes in a relationship. Chris Martin, the lead vocalist, has indicated that the song was inspired by his own personal relationship, reflecting on the warning signs he missed.

A warning sign
I missed the good times and I realised
I started looking and the bubble burst
I started looking for excuses

Come on in
I’ve gotta tell you what a state I’m in
I’ve gotta tell you in my loudest tones
That I started looking for a warning sign

And the truth is
I miss you
Yeah the truth is
That I miss you so
