As a Butterfly

[Verse 1]
No, I just refuse to believe my eyes
In front of me, something I can't recognize
You stood beside me all my life

The heart machines are ticking
I can hear the life support pumping
The line between life and death doesn't come any clearer than this
Covered with an oxygen mask, these words will be his last
With the energy he's got left, he turns to me and says:

[Chorus]
I cannot stand by you 'til the end of the world
Like I said I would do
No, I won't be able to help you carry the weight of the world
My time has come

Silent as a butterfly, I'll be flying beside you, watching above you
Silent as a butterfly

[Verse 2]
All of a sudden, I've lost my strength
Isn't it scary how things can change?
It made an instant, just like that

Whenever I had questions, you always had the answers
You taught me about life and the importance of being yourself
To highly value honesty, how not to lose grip of reality
With both your feet on the ground

[Chorus]
I cannot stand by you 'til the end of the world
Like I said I would do
No, I won't be able to help you carry the weight of the world
My time has come

Silent as a butterfly, I'll be flying beside you, watching above you
Silent as a butterfly

[Bridge]
You weren't supposed to see me like this, and I'm sorry
I must leave
It's my time, but I will see you soon

[Chorus]
I cannot stand by you 'til the end of the world
Like I said I would do
No, I won't be able to help you carry the weight of the world
My time has come

Silent as a butterfly, I'll be flying beside you, watching above you
Silent as a butterfly
