lyrics

You are just a butterfly
A pair of wings, and you think you’ve got no direction
You say I’m some ray of sunshine,
But darling I see raindrops in your eyes
I wish I could fill your half-empty glass
It’s hard to fly when snowflakes veil the grass

The rushing wind is passing by,
Every time you lay down by my side
The rain brings something beautiful,
Did I just catch a glimmer in your eye?

If I stay here, will you hold me
And tell me that you love me, even though?
Or would you smile timidly
And gladly let me say I told you so?

The leaves may rustle beneath our shoes
But no one’s here, it’s just us and the moon
Oh tell me dear when I’m not here
Do you cave in and give up way too soon?
Oh I wish I could fill your half-empty glass
It’s hard to fly when snowflakes veil the grass

When baby birds fall from the sky
They find another way they haven’t tried
The willow trees sway in the breeze
The thunder comes and all you know is goodbye

If I stay here, will you hold me
And tell me that you love me, even though?
Or would you smile timidly
And gladly let me say I told you so?

The rushing wind is passing by
Every time you lay down by my side
The rain brings something beautiful
Did I just catch a glimmer in your eye?

If I can’t make you happy
Then I guess that I should just leave you alone
Still you hold me close to you
‘Cause you can’t face the darkness on your own
