Sobering (Extended Version)

[Verse 1]

People call them butterflies

That's utter lies

It feels a little like a bumblebee that stings and dies

And all you win

Is thicker skin

And if they swarm to something sweet oh how they’ll worship him

And just when I'm about to blurt it out he beats me to it, says he met her and he knew it

That he gets her through and through

And

[Pre-Chorus]

It's sobering

Just to see her hands all over him

I know they’ve been to every bone

Just the structure of his cheeks alone

Makes me weak below

[Chorus]

I'll just livе with the lump in my throat

Learn not to jump so I don't sink under somеthing I want

Be gracious

Gritting my teeth til I lose faith in believing he'll choose to turn to me for a muse

[Verse 2]

Let me pine

I'll get in line

I bet my time will come

[Pre-Chorus]

It's typical

Every time I seem to slip I fall

And hit a wall

And he waltzed in

Gave a glimpse of what we might have been

Now the light is dim

[Chorus]

I'll just live with the lump in my throat

Learn not to jump so I don't sink under something I want

Be gracious

Gritting my teeth til I lose faith in believing he’ll choose to turn to me for a muse

[Outro]

Its’s humbling

Just to see how hard I fumbled him

I stumbled into something so

Absolutely out of my control

I think it's time to go
