Butterflies

In a room too big for one (uh)

I talk to shadows on the wall

They don't reply, they never call

The xylophone hums, the piano stalls

Every corner's a quiet scream

Every step echoes my dream

Glass butterflies, they shatter and fall

I reach out, but I can't catch them all

Lonely wings, sharp and small

Glass butterflies, they break me most of all

I pour my tea, pretend you're near

The steam curls like whispers, unclear

A fragile tune, soft and sheer

You were the melody, now just a smear

The clock ticks loud, it drowns my song

The hours stretch, the nights feel wrong

Glass butterflies, they shatter and fall

I reach out, but I can't catch them all

Lonely wings, sharp and small

Glass butterflies, they break me most of all

Ah-ah-ah-ah

Yeah, da-da

Yeah, da-da-da

Yeah, da-da-da

Yeah, da-da-da

Yeah, da-da

Yeah, da-da-da
