Butterflies

Sing to me
It don't mean much but it means everything
You dance, I bleed
Autumn shimmers in the barren scene
The sun, it beams
Through the branches of the evergreens
At last I see
But you are gone and I fall back to sleep

Forgive me when I say
I was already drifting away
'Cause you left me here like an old dog in the rain
Would you care, would you even line your guts
Before taking on this much?
With a body full of butterflies you're fit to burst
You are fit to burst

The second time you think that you've grown up to the sting
Or that you wouldn't remember
Or that the smell, the taste, the use of certain words
And what's particular December
Because I'm over this, I'm under the bridge
Staring up, I just can't burn it yet
I won't burn it yet

Forgive me when I say
I was already drifting away
'Cause you left me here like an old dog in the rain
Would you care, would you even line your guts
Before taking on this much?
With a body full of butterflies you're fit to burst
You are fit to burst

The fact I even exist at all
I find incredible
It's a miracle, it's a miracle
I don't still have it all
Because everything I fear is already part of me
