Letting go of Butterflies
“Our little precious sugar plum,
What has got him feeling glum?
What has got our boy so sad?
What has got him feeling bad?”
No they don’t understand
They don’t
Why?
Why can I not smile?
Why does every single thing
Just add on to the pile?
Well I don’t really know
I guess it’s cause you’re gone
You moved out of my life
And now I’m moving on
Hey
How are you up there?
Hey
It’s really not fair
There’s nothing I can do
I know that much is true
But why’d you have to fly?
Not even say goodbye?
Hey
I don’t know what to do
Hey
I can’t remember you
Impressions of a face
An aching empty space
I don’t care why or how
I need to see you now
And say
I’m sorry
And say
I’m sorry
Now nothing seems so real
And I don’t know how to feel
But I wish that you stayed
All the times we could have made
The past has dulled and drained of life
Nostalgia cuts me like a knife
The sharp sting of regret
And a wish to just forget
Yet I keep on holding tight
Cause I just cannot say goodnight
I really wish that you were here
But then you had to disappear
Hey
I’m really not okay
Hey
Why did you go away
Goodbye
My little butterfly
