I think I was blind for too long, but now I can see again
And now I don't want to hear from you or see you again
I imagined you were worth all of this to me
Despite miles-wide cracks deep in my heart
I'll never hide what I feel again, maybe that hurts you
And causes you pain, just because you have mountains to hide
I tell you the truth, I was honest with you every time
I only have to live with one lie, and it bears your name
I don't know who you are, no clue who I'm meeting now
Because not even the false sides of you were real
I'd rather fall than wish for the time back with you
I protected you, even though I should have been protected from you
Only because of you, I can only trust my own eyes
Because somehow I'm too cold to thaw again
Maybe this dream was a trauma from the start
I lied to myself every time I believed you

I held my heart in the fire for you and got burned
I thought I knew you, but I never did
Saw you with eyes that are no longer the same
Because today I know you were everything, just not a butterfly
I held my heart in the fire for you and got burned
I thought I knew you, but I never did
Saw you with eyes that are no longer the same
Because today I know you were everything, just not a butterfly

I'm ashamed that you meant so much to me
Because today I know, you were never honest when you were honest
I trusted you, even when so much spoke against you
Didn't listen and hurt myself with it
I don't want you forever anymore, because forever means
I'd have to share the last tear I cry with you
Now you're free, and I don't care where you fly
I'd feel better if you had never loved me
Time heals all wounds, apparently only on your clock
It would be so easy for me if I were as cold as you
And I would have never invested a spark of love in you
Had I known how many tears you would owe me
I overlooked your shadows because I was blinded
Don't want to go back, not even the time I wasted
Don't need shards, because now I know how much bad luck you bring
I think my heart was shattered by a butterfly

I held my heart in the fire for you and got burned
I thought I knew you, but I never did
Saw you with eyes that are no longer the same
Because today I know you were everything, just not a butterfly
I held my heart in the fire for you and got burned
I thought I knew you, but I never did
Saw you with eyes that are no longer the same
Because today I know you were everything, just not a butterfly
