lyrics

Love is a butterfly

My heart was free, my mind was open
Now I'm on my knees, my heart is broken
misleading lights in stormy nights
Bottomless depths and dangerous heights
deadly riffs below the surface
and stranded lovers on rainy days

Your words like swords, they cut like knifes
through my thin skin, into my heart
and all my love and my delights
are killed tonight by amors dart
I fell in love, thought we're friends
Now I avenge with poisened pens

Love is a butterfly and hard to catch
Lovers are an easy find but hard to match
Saying I love you isn't easy as it seems
saying I don't is something of a kind

Wouldn't hurt that much having seen your eyes
When you've told me you are not in love
Your eyes below pale winter skies
would heal the wounds and a black dove
would fly into december nights
and disappear in fancy lights

I set on seventeen and red - should have gone
for a dozend or a corner bet
I wanted all, I'm loosing high
Thought it might be well not being too shy
Goodbye my dear you hurt me well
but in the end that rang a bell

Love is a butterfly and hard to catch
Lovers are an easy find but hard to match
Saying I love you isn't easy as it seems
saying I don't is something of a kind
Loosing a friend and some beautiful dreams
Is something you just fall behind
And you are going down this road tonight
I'm watching you until you're out of sight

Now I have written these five verses
I feel much lighter, now I sung my curses
The risk of falling in love with a friend
is to loose somebody that means a lot
for a chance winning someone that in the end
Might fly into the light just like a moth
