flatline Lyrics by Sam Short

SS2*

2024

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
To anything, seventeen, 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

[Chorus]
Oh, I let the time pass by
Let our love grow vines and watched as you fadеd
Oh, I miss you bad sometimes when you cross my mind
But I nеver say it

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, I'm runnin' tryna catch a past life
But, oh, I know if I make it there I'll flatline

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
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)

[Bridge]
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?

[Outro]
Oh, I let the time pass by
Let our love grow vines and watched as you faded
