Butterfly
I remember when I dressed you in my sheets
A dream born in the shade of an old oak tree
Every minute we spent together felt like a jump-start
We didn't notice that we were drowning in our bleeding hearts
And I'll never forget, no
And I'll never forget
How you were my lifeline and my noose
Yeah but I just couldn't cut you loose
Yeah I thought I'd hit the bullseye
Now all I've got is an old photograph
And a flightless butterfly
Now the oak tree is planted on my shelf
Couldn't use a branch, had to learn to stand by myself
The butterfly flew away this time on heavy wings
If I saw you every day, why did the goodbyes always sting?
But I'll never forget, no
But I'll never forget
How you were the right thing and the wrong
Somehow you still left me standing strong
Drained my soul enough, yet I'm still alive
With a torn up photograph
And a flightless butterfly
Yeah I was your best friend and your slave
But I could never forget what we made
Love you, now I'm onto clearer skies
Leave behind that buried butterfly
A dream born in the shade of an old oak tree
Every minute we spent together felt like a jump-start
We didn't notice that we were drowning in our bleeding hearts
And I'll never forget, no
And I'll never forget
How you were my lifeline and my noose
Yeah but I just couldn't cut you loose
Yeah I thought I'd hit the bullseye
Now all I've got is an old photograph
And a flightless butterfly
Now the oak tree is planted on my shelf
Couldn't use a branch, had to learn to stand by myself
The butterfly flew away this time on heavy wings
If I saw you every day, why did the goodbyes always sting?
But I'll never forget, no
But I'll never forget
How you were the right thing and the wrong
Somehow you still left me standing strong
Drained my soul enough, yet I'm still alive
With a torn up photograph
And a flightless butterfly
Yeah I was your best friend and your slave
But I could never forget what we made
Love you, now I'm onto clearer skies
Leave behind that buried butterfly
