Butterflies

I asked the darkness While you slept
"Do you love me too?"
Under my breath i sat and wept
Came in too hot and too soon

I want to be the lockscreen on your phone
I want you to feel like you made me feel
Like Your home away from home
When I'm with you it feels unreal
Because it isn't- It never will be
I just fooled myself into believing
That my luck could finally be changing
You sure made a fool out of me

Come round; We're placing bets
That He never visits
And I'd be left on read
Some promises stay between the sheets of the bed

A life lesson all the same
You were the most beautiful waste of time
Maybe even worth the pain
There's more creative ways to die
I'll let you go for my heart's sake
You had me hook and line
Time to relearn to fly

Sniffed and scratched your name off the calendar
Took your photos off the refrigerator
No use crumbling over another
Almost happily ever after

I've been doing better on my own
Not just keeping busy
Still kept my house but lost a home
And I just hope you miss me
Maybe I'm much better off alone
I just need to really
Go outside
Stop staring at my fucking phone

Come round; We're placing bets
That He never visits
And I'd be left on read
Some promises stay between the sheets of the bed
A life lesson all the same
You were the most beautiful waste of time
Maybe even worth the pain
There's more creative ways to die
I'll let you go for my heart's sake
You had me hook and line
Time to relearn to fly

So sure there's someone else for you
Well, buddy get in line
Won't settle as your choice number two
Made your bed so I opened mine
Say I'm jaded
At least I tried
Wasting time having fun chasing butterflies
It's not the hours
We've put in
It's just the world that we're living in
Life can hit
Me nightly
You only miss the sun when it's cloudy

A life lesson all the same
You were the most beautiful waste of time
Maybe even worth the pain
There's more creative ways to die
I'll let you go for my heart's sake
You had me hook and line

A life lesson all the same
You were the most beautiful waste of time
Maybe even worth the pain
There's more creative ways to die
I'll let you go for my heart's sake
You had me hook and line
Time to relearn to fly
