Butterflies

[Verse 1]
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 tryin' to buy time
You threw me out on a limb
Just to walk on a line so thin

[Pre-Chorus]
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"

[Chorus]
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 eatin' 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 eatin' me up from the inside
I'm better off just killing the butterflies

[Verse 2]
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

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

[Chorus]
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 eatin' 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 eatin' me up from the inside
I'm better off just killing the butterflies

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

[Chorus]
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 eatin' 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 eatin' me up from the inside
I'm better off just killing the butterflies
