Flicker Lyrics

You walked in like you always knew

The weight of the room would shift with you

I tried to play it cool, stay calm

But you pulled me in, like a magnet's song

Your eyes were tired, your smile was bright

I caught a glimpse of something we could hide

But we're too much, we're too little

And I knew right there, it's never simple

You said, Maybe it's better if we let it go

But your fingers never really let me know

And I'm still chasing the things you won't say

Flickering out like a spark in the rain

We were just a flicker,

Burning bright, then fading quicker

I swear I saw the spark in your eyes

But we were never meant to survive

So we burn out, we burn out

Yeah, we flicker like stars on the ground

We were just a flicker

I'll always wonder what it could've been

You held me close, then pulled away

Like your heart had somewhere it could stay

I tried to hold on, I tried to fight

But I knew you'd disappear into the night

The things we said didn't mean enough

Words like promises, but never tough

I thought that love would make us whole

But it left me breaking, feeling cold

You said, Maybe it's better if we let it go

But your fingers never really let me know

And I'm still chasing the things you won't say

Flickering out like a spark in the rain

We were just a flicker

Burning bright, then fading quicker

I swear I saw the spark in your eyes

But we were never meant to survive

So we burn out, we burn out

Yeah, we flicker like stars on the ground

We were just a flicker

I'll always wonder what it could've been

And maybe I'll find you in another life

Where we get it right, where we don't say goodbye

But here, in the silence, you're just a ghost

Flickering memories, of what I wanted most

Maybe I'll learn to let you fade

Or keep you close like a secret I made

We were just a flicker

Burning bright, then fading quicker

I swear I saw the spark in your eyes

But we were never meant to survive

So we burn out, we burn out

Yeah, we flicker like stars on the ground

We were just a flicker

I'll always wonder what it could've been

Flicker, flicker, flicker

You're just a flicker

I'll always wonder what it could've been

A flicker
