Billie Eilish – Wildflower Lyrics

Soft released on May 17, 2024, delves into the complexities of relationships and personal introspection. The song narrates the emotional journey of consoling a friend post-breakup, only to later become involved with that friend’s ex-partner, leading to feelings of guilt and reflection.

[Verse 1] Things fall apart
And time breaks your heart
I wasn’t there, but I know
She was your girl
You showed her the world
But fell out of love and you both let go

[Pre-Chorus] She was cryin’ on my shoulder
All I could do was hold her
Only made us closer until July
Now, I know that you love me
You don’t need to remind me
I should put it all behind me, shouldn’t I?

[Chorus] But I see her in the back of my mind all the time
Like a fever, like I’m burning alive, like a sign
Did I cross the line?
(Mm) Hmm

[Verse 2] Well, good things don’t last (Good things don’t last)
And life moves so fast (Life moves so fast)
I’d never ask who was better (I’d never ask who was better)
‘Cause she couldn’t be (Couldn’t)
More different from me (Different)
Happy and free in leather (Happy)

[Pre-Chorus] And I know that you love me (You love me)
You don’t need to remind me (Remind me)
Wanna put it all behind me, but baby

[Chorus] I see her in the back of my mind (Back of my mind) all the time (All the time)
Feels like a fever (Like a fever), like I’m burning alive (Burning alive), like a sign
Did I cross the line?

[Bridge] You say no one knows you so well (Oh)
But every time you touch me, I just wonder how she felt
Valentine’s Day, cryin’ in the hotel
I know you didn’t mean to hurt me, so I kept it to myself

[Chorus] And I wonder
Do you see her in the back of your mind in my eyes?

[Outro] You say no one knows you so well
But every time you touch me, I just wonder how she felt
Valentine’s Day, cryin’ in the hotel
I know you didn’t mean to hurt me, so I kept it to myself
