[Verse 1]
You came like a dream through a cracked window,
Slipped in quiet with the scent of smoke.
Lit a fire in a part of me
That never wanted to feel that deep.

You touched my skin like a question mark,
Woke a hunger buried in the dark.
But love with you was always blind—
No answers, just shifting lines.

[Pre-Chorus]
I still taste your kiss in the silence,
Still feel your ghost in the static…

[Chorus]
You’re a flash in my rearview mind,
A fading light I can’t rewind.
You burned so bright, then disappeared—
Left me drowning in my own fear.
But I’m not chasing shadows through the blue…
You’re a flash I don’t hold on to.

[Verse 2]
Was I too much, or just too real?
Did I scare you with the way I feel?
Was my love too loud for your quiet lies,
Or did the truth get caught in your alibis?

You said you’d stay—
Words made of rain.
You left while I blinked,
And took everything.

[Pre-Chorus]
I still hear your name in the silence,
But it echoes back with violence…

[Chorus]
You’re a flash in my rearview mind,
A hit-and-run in borrowed time.
You haunted my neck with your aftershave—
But it faded with the last full moon.
And I’m not breaking just for you…
You’re a flash I don’t hold on to.

[Bridge]
I stitched myself with broken threads,
Carved your lies out of my chest.
No more questions, no more blame—
Only ash where you etched your name.

[Final Chorus]
You’re a flash in a burned-out frame,
A falling star with someone else’s name.
I survived the fire, I made it through…
And now I see the sky’s still blue.
You were never mine, and now I’m new—
Just a flash…
I don’t hold on to.
