Wildflower
Billie Eilish Lyrics

Things fall apart
Life's complexities often lead to disintegration and loss.

And time breaks your heart
As time passes, the pain of disappointment and heartbreak becomes more pronounced.

I wasn't there, but I know
Even in my absence, I understand the depth of your experience.

She was your girl
She held a significant role in your life and affections.

You showed her the world
You provided her with experiences and dreams that expanded her horizons.

But fell out of love and you both let go
Your feelings changed, leading to a mutual decision to end the relationship.

She was cryin' on my shoulder
She sought comfort from me during her times of distress.

All I could do was hold her
In that moment, my support was limited to physical presence and empathy.

Only made us closer until July
Our bond deepened during the early summer until an eventual turning point.

Now I know that you love me
I've come to realize your feelings for me are genuine.

You don't need to remind me
Your affection is evident and does not require constant affirmation.

I should put it all behind me, shouldn't I?
I feel the need to move on from past experiences and emotions.

But I see her in the back of my mind all the time
She lingers in my thoughts, affecting my present feelings.

Like a fever, like I'm burning alive, like the sun
This persistent thought is overwhelming and consuming, like intense heat.

Did I cross the line? (Mm)
I question if I have overstepped boundaries in my feelings or actions.

Well, good things don't last
Positive experiences are often temporary and fleeting.

And life moves so fast
Time rushes forward, leaving little room for reflection.

I'd never ask who was better
I would refrain from comparing myself to your past relationships.

'Cause she couldn't be
I recognize that she possesses unique qualities distinct from mine.

More different from me
Our personalities and lifestyles are markedly not alike.

Happy and free in leather
She embodies a sense of joy and liberation that contrasts with my own struggles.

And I know that you love me
Your affection for me is clear and understood.

You don't need to remind me
Continuous reassurances of your love are unnecessary.

Wanna put it all behind me, but baby
Despite my desire to move on, unresolved feelings persist.

I see her in the back of my mind all the time
Her presence pervades my thoughts, creating conflict in my emotions.

Feels like a fever, like I'm burning alive, like the sun
This emotional turmoil feels overwhelming and unbearable.

Did I cross the line?
I wonder if I've overstepped emotional boundaries in this entangled situation.

You say no one knows you so well (oh)
You claim that my understanding of you is unparalleled.

But every time you touch me, I just wonder how she felt
In moments of intimacy, I can't help but compare my experience to hers.

Valentine's Day, cryin' in the hotel
On a day associated with love, the weight of sorrow was palpable in a lonely setting.

I know you didn't mean to hurt me, so I kept it to myself
Your actions may have caused pain, but I chose to conceal my hurt out of understanding.

And I wonder
I find myself questioning thoughts and feelings continuously.

Do you see her in the back of your mind in my eyes?
I contemplate whether you project memories of her onto me and our relationship.

You say no one knows you so well
Your assertion of my deep understanding of you resonates with a sense of intimacy.

But every time you touch me, I just wonder how she felt
Physical connection prompts reflections on your past romantic encounters.

Valentine's Day, cryin' in the hotel
The irony of experiencing sadness amidst a celebration is painfully evident.

I know you didn't mean to hurt me, so I kept it to myself
Out of compassion for you, I chose to suppress my own feelings of hurt.
