Story Behind the Song
Chasing the elusive butterfly and realizing you don't know why.
Lyrics
The taste of stale wine and cigarette smoke
I held my head as I awoke
This beautiful girl, my valuable time
Are no longer a friend of mine
Trying to see half the way it’s supposed to be
My Semi-Broke heart and wasted tears
I fight myself and all my fears
I never gave in, but now I give up
On her and all that she corrupts
I sit and stare for countless hours
Knowing I can’t wait for you
I ran so hard but I’m still chasing
The butterfly tattoo, on you
I know you’re life’s hard, ‘Cause Mine is hard too
I guess I was too good to you
You always said me, I always thought we
Could make it if we just believed
But now I see half the way it’s supposed to be
Chorus
Words or actions, tell me which should I choose to believe
You’ve changed up all of the cards in your sleeve
I can’t make you love me
If you don’t even know what it is
Your painless heart, my sleepless nights
You’re lies provoked our endless fights
The truth behind everything you do
I held your words and wished them true
But now I see it’s just the way it’s supposed to be
Chorus X2
I sat and stared for countless hours, thinking I could wait for you
It’s been so long but I’m done chasing, the Butterfly tattoo, on you…
