Write To Fight: Butterflies

This is actually something that Nick and I wrote for a song a couple years ago. Butterflies haven't had the time chance to prosper since our schedules clash. We released it on our Youtube when Silver Lights was first established but took it down. Anyhow, Butterflies represent s constant battle between two people who love each other, but only one is attempting to make things work. It's a struggle when someone acts as if you're giving up on them when they're the one not doing anything to change the situation. 

I don't want to hear you say

 Those three words or my name again

Like you meant anything that you said

And I've trying to get my head around

Why you stayed so long

You must get your fix on breaking down

The ones who think their strong

Maybe it's selfish thinking that you'd ever pick me

because you're just a sick leech

Or maybe you were trying to save all these feelings

But now they are dying

If this is what you wanted

Why did you keep running?

I don’t that I’m the one you need to blame

You’re the only one that wants to feel this way

I remember the days that we capture in a photograph

Making memories planning a future that we’d never have

Wishing for a time, I could find that was memorable

That didn’t involve that face that I was so expendable

I want to make you pay

 

But I should be the bigger man

Why not

I have the extra pound

But my heart is heavy from the plate I had to swallow down

Maybe I should take a stand

It’s better than just hanging out

Thinking about all the things I may have done to let you down
