Butterfly

Right now
It's real
Real things don't just disappear
But they do
They will
Memories come like the wind
They're here
Then they're not
We never realize when they stop
We look
Don't see
We're all woven intricately

Over time will we remember
Promises we made forever
Or will all of it fade away?

Everyone thinks they are immune
But sometimes we say we're coming home soon
Yet a butterfly crosses our minds
And home becomes dreams become lies
One day what we have will disappear
I'll try not to forget even when you're not here
But the butterflies open our eyes
And the world suddenly gets too bright

We come
We go
Emotions are left behind though
They hurt
They fade
We deny that we all go away
Don't go
Please don't go
Don't forget about me
You will
In time
Funny thing is, so will I

Over time will we remember
Promises we made forever
Or will everything break away?

Everyone thinks they are immune
But sometimes we say we're coming home soon
Yet a butterfly crosses our minds
And home becomes dreams become lies
One day what we have will disappear
I'll try not to forget even when you're not here
But the butterflies open our eyes
And the world suddenly gets too bright

Time is our enemy
Time is our friend
We stay in places
We reach the end
We count our losses more than our blessings
We stop and look only when someone else is looking
We know each other
We talk every day
But in twenty years will you remember my name?
In twenty years will you remember my name?

Everyone thinks they are immune
But sometimes we say we're coming home soon
Yet a butterfly crosses our minds
And home becomes dreams become lies
One day what we have will disappear
I'll try not to forget even when you're not here
But the butterflies open our eyes
And the world suddenly gets too bright

You changed my life
And we talk every day
But in twenty years will you remember my name?
In twenty years will you remember my name?
