Butterflies

(альбом: Thanks A Lot Now I Can't Smile - 2022)

I looked at you said "I can fix that"
As if no one else had tried that
I got under your clothes, you got under my skin, right in
I knew you'd leave me when the leaves died
Spent the summer trying to buy time
You threw me out on a limb
Just to walk on a line so thin

You said ooh
"It's not a fight just because you cried"
You said ooh
"Go sleep it off, you're touchy late at night"

And I'm like
Ooh you're looking ugly in the daylight
Ooh you can't just say it 'cause it sounds right
It's eating me up from the inside
I'm better off just killing the butterflies
Ooh I'd bring a gun to a knife fight
Ooh I'm looking at the guy that just might
It's eating me up from the inside
I'm better off just killing the butterflies

You're calm, cool and collected
It's not nice but it's effective
And you go really quiet, let the words that you said sink in

Ooh
"It's not a fight just because you cried"
You said ooh
"Go sleep it off, you're touchy late at night"

And I'm like
Ooh you're looking ugly in the daylight
Ooh you can't just say it 'cause it sounds right
It's eating me up from the inside
I'm better off just killing the butterflies
Ooh I'd bring a gun to a knife fight
Ooh I'm looking at the guy that just might
It's eating me up from the inside
I'm better off just killing the butterflies

I'm gonna sever all the ties
I'm gonna cleanse you from my life
I'm gonna kill the butterflies

I'll be like
Ooh you're looking ugly in the daylight
Ooh you can't just say it 'cause it sounds right
It's eating me up from the inside
I'm better off just killing the butterflies
Ooh I'd bring a gun to a knife fight
Ooh I'm looking at the guy that just might
It's eating me up from the inside
I'm better off just killing the butterflies
