Butterflies Never Lie

(albüm: See Me Now - 2010)

Butterflies never lie, but I do
When I'm scared of what telling the truth will do
And if you so choose to be in my scared vicinity
Well, I'm so sorry if I ever lie to you

Secrets come from inhibitions
And inhibitions come from fears, oh
Like, "What will happen next, and will it be what I expect?"
I've been playing this damn game of chess for you

So I will try my best to be light now
Shining bright in all places low
And I will try my best to be clearer
When I'm telling you what I know

All I ask from you is your patience
And I will try to give you the same
So if you run out, I could never blame you
'Cuz I know how hard it is to change

Butterflies never lie, but I do
When I'm scared of what telling the truth will do
And if you so choose to be in my scared vicinity
Well, I'm so sorry if I ever lie to you

'Cuz people need to hear the whole truth
And who am I to hold it in?
'Cuz even if it hurts at first, never knowing's even worse
I can't save you from the lakes you came to swim

So I will try my best to be light now
Shining bright in all places low
And I will try my best to be clearer
When I'm telling you what I know

All I ask from you is your patience
And I will try to give you the same
So if you run out, I could never blame you
'Cuz I know how hard it is for us to change

Butterflies never lie, but I do
When I'm scared of what telling the truth will do
And if you so choose to be in my scared vicinity
Well, I'm so sorry if I ever lie to you

You know I'm so sorry if I ever lie to you.
