Ryan Kelley - BUTTERFLY WINGS

Tell me honestly
How long have you known me?
How much have I made you feel
Like you need to cry?
I was on the brink
We were there together
I couldn't reciprocate
Or hold on tight
Sticks and stones
Soft bones and
Flightless birds and harbored ships
Spider webs
Tangled threads
Soft lips and shouldered chips
I couldn't breathe
You did it all for me
And I left you there
I left you there
When did it all get so hard?
Tell me honestly
How long have you known me?
How much have I made you feel
Like you need to cry?
I was destitute
We were there together
And I bogged you down
You couldn't take flight
Ah, the broken hearts
Forever unmended
And yes it's true that I regret a lot of things
But the thing I think I regret the most is
I clipped your butterfly wings
Take off the shame
You don't have to save face
After I had pushed you so severely from grace
I wanted to be wise
Wanted to be right
I wanted to be there
(Please don't think I didn't care)
There's nothing I can say (I know)
You've been dancing with a ghost
(And the ballroom's made of bones)
There's nothing I can do (I know)
To make it up to you
Just so you know before I go
I know it's all gotten so hard, so
Tell me honestly
How long have you known me?
How much have I made you feel
Like you need to cry?
I was destitute
We were there together
And I bogged you down
You couldn't take flight
Ah, the broken hearts
Forever unmended
And yes it's true that I regret a lot of things
But the thing I think I regret the most is
I clipped your butterfly wings
