[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

Billie Eilish is famous for her unique style, deep lyrics, and soft voice. Much of her music is made together with her brother, Finneas O’Connell, who is both her producer and co-writer. Their songs often talk about topics like mental health, loneliness, and finding one’s identity.

When creating music, Billie and Finneas mix fiction with real experiences. They enjoy “making things up and creating characters,” so some of their songs are fictional. But many are also inspired by their own lives. Billie has shared that often they are going through similar things, so their songs are a mix of what she feels and what Finneas feels.

Different genres and artists also shape Billie’s music. Hip-hop, R&B, and singers such as Lana Del Rey influence her. This mix of influences, combined with her unique writing style, creates music that feels authentic and resonates with people worldwide.
