Lyrics[]
[Intro]
Flatline
Flatline
Flatline
Flatline
[Verse 1]
Lately you've been busy, wondering if you miss me
Why did you go against me? I just wanna know
How come you act so different?
Talk to me I'll listen
All the love I'm giving
Don't act like you don't know
[Pre-Chorus]
I was out there on the road
Life out of control
She became a victim to my busy schedule
And I know that it's not fair
That don't mean that I don't care
This one's dedicated to the girl out there
[Chorus]
Girl you always catch me at the bad time (Bad time)
When I know you probably think it's a lie (A lie)
I know I told you last time was the last time (Last time)
How could you pull the plug and leave me flatline? (Flatline)
Flatline (Flatline)
Flatline (Flatline)
How could you pull the plug and leave me flatline? (Flatline)
Cause when I hit you, you don't even reply (Reply)
How could you pull the plug and leave me flatline?
[Verse 2]
Not breathing, what is it I'm not seeing
Said she's leaving, damn I can't believe it
It's like my heart's bleeding knowing that you don't need me
Shut my heart down, now I don't know what Imma do now
[Pre-Chorus]
I was out there on the road
Life out of control
She became a victim to my busy schedule
And I know that it's not fair
That don't mean that I don't care
This one's dedicated to the girl out there
[Chorus]
Girl you always catch me at the bad time (Bad time)
When I know you probably think it's a lie (A lie)
I know I told you last time was the last time (Last time)
How could you pull the plug and leave me flatline? (Flatline)
Flatline (Flatline)
Flatline (Flatline)
How could you pull the plug and leave me flatline? (Flatline)
Cause when I hit you, you don't even reply (Reply)
How could you pull the plug and leave me flatline?
[Bridge]
Girl you always catch me at the bad time
Girl you always catch me at the bad time
I know I told you last time was the last time
I know I told you last time was the last time
How could you pull the plug and leave me flatline? (Flatline)
Flatline, flatline
[Chorus]
Girl you always catch me at the bad time (Bad time)
When I know you probably think it's a lie (A lie)
I know I told you last time was the last time (Last time)
How could you pull the plug and leave me flatline? (Flatline)
Flatline (Flatline)
Flatline (Flatline)
How could you pull the plug and leave me flatline? (Flatline)
Cause when I hit you, you don't even reply (Reply)
How could you pull the plug and leave me flatline?
