Butterflies
We're sipping cocktails, looking down
upon the riot,
You whisper "baby, love the way you
look tonight",
I wanna save you, save you from the
world outside.
I know it seems you're all I wanted
and much more,
But then, to tell the truth, I've been
through this before,
They say "I'll save you, save you",
but they never do.
I think you know, I want to believe
you,
But in my heart I know that I'll leave
you.
It's sort of sad how instincts deceive
you,
Or disappoint you.
Everything inside makes me wanna
stay,
But everything you've done makes me
wanna run.
I've made the decision that I can't be
with you,
walking out the door, but I already
miss you,
Thinking about how I used to kiss
you,
I'm getting butterflies, I'm getting
butterflies.
I've made the decision that I'm too
good for you,
Then I see you calling, it's hard to
ignore you.
Try to be strong, but, babe, I adore
you,
I'm getting butterflies, I'm getting
butterflies.
Back in high school, in the yard, we
used to fight,
But you would sneak into my window
every night,
"I wanna take you, take you to the
world outside."
Well, I assume it's what I wanted at
that time,
But your eyes would let a constant
warning sign,
"I wanna take you, take you" and I
didn't mind.
And even though I didn't believe you,
You had a smile so easy to see
through,
I know a little part of me will always
reach you,
Try to reach you, try to please you.
Everything inside makes me wanna
stay,
But everything you've done makes me
wanna run.
I've made the decision that I can't be
with you,
walking out the door, but I already
miss you,
Thinking about how I used to kiss
you,
I'm getting butterflies, I'm getting
butterflies.
I've made the decision that I'm too
good for you,
Then I see you calling, it's hard to
ignore you.
Try to be strong, but, babe, I adore
you,
I'm getting butterflies, I'm getting
butterflies.
I know, I know, I know, we aren't
good together.
I can't let go, I'm sure that we should
be forever.
I look around, there's no one above
you,
I think you know that I'll always love
you.
And baby, I'm bad, too, it's not just
you,
But I can't wait forever to trust
you.
Everything inside makes me wanna
stay,
But everything you've done makes me
wanna run.
I've made the decision that I can't be
with you,
walking out the door, but I already
miss you,
Thinking about how I used to kiss
you,
I'm getting butterflies, I'm getting
butterflies.
I've made the decision that I'm too
good for you,

ignore you.
Try to be strong, but, babe, I adore
you,
I'm getting butterflies, I'm getting
butterflies.
