flatline

It was bad, you were poison

The kind that feels so good, you don't even notice

Like the whiskey we had stolen

From your parents' liquor cabinet, we were unbeholden

To anything, 17, that's all I see

All these years later in rose-colored dreams

Then, when I wake up, I have to repeat

It was bad, you were poison

Oh, I let the time pass by

Let our love grow vines and watched as you faded

Oh, I miss you bad sometimes when you cross my mind

But I never say it

Oh

I'm runnin' tryna catch a past life

But, oh

I know if I make it there, I'll flatline

If I called one more time, know I'd feel so alive

An indelible high, I'd be forever stained

Then you'd leave in the night, take your bags and my life

And I'd put up a fight

But that would be the day

I'd die 'cause you don't want me (you don't want me)

I'd die and they'd say, "What a shame

He took her every heartbeat

'Cause she let him take and take and take"

Oh, I let the time pass by

Let our love grow vines and watched as you faded (oh)

Oh, I miss you bad sometimes

When you cross my mind, but I never say it

Oh

I'm runnin' tryna catch a past life

But, oh

I know if I make it there, I'll flatline (if I'll make it there, I'll flatline)

If I'm being honest, I love you, I promised

To all of my friends that it's over and gone

Then I sit in my car and I cry like a baby

And all of the bad things you did are so hazy

And all of the good things are crystal and clear

You weren't a bad guy, it was just a bad year

It's funny, the damage time does when it heals

Isn't it? (Isn't it)

Oh, I let the time pass by

Let our love grow vines and watched as you faded
