“Flattery” is the eleventh track on Aly & AJ’s third studio album, “Insomniatic,” released on July 10, 2007.
The song delves into themes of superficiality, false praise, and the quest for genuine connections in a world filled with insincere flattery. The lyrics serve as a reminder to listeners...
[Verse 1]
Please, don't flatter yourself
You're not the only one this heart has ever felt
Please, don't exaggerate
Don't tell me you're okay, okay, okay
[Chorus]
I will admit it, if you admit it
It's harder than we both thought
It's easier to fall apart, look where we are
(Look where we are, where we are)
I can forgive it, I can't forget it
You've left me here with all these scars
And you can't deny the hardest part
I'm not in your arms
[Verse 2]
We're more hurt than we appear
The world will never know
We both have tasted tears, my dear
You're denying what I say
Don't act like it's okay, cause it's not okay
[Chorus]
I will admit it, if you admit it
It's harder than we both thought
It's easier to fall apart, look where we are
(Look where we are, where we are)
I can forgive it, I can't forget it
You've left me here with all these scars
And you can't deny the hardest part
I'm not in your arms
[Bridge]
It's not in the cards
It's not in the stars
I'm not sorry, I'm not sorry
You're not sorry
[Outro]
I will admit, if you admit it
Just please, don't flatter yourself
Please, don't flatter yourself
