Title: “Butterfly Effect”

Title: “Butterfly Effect” Verse 1 Late night, your name glowing on my screen I tell myself I don’t care, but I still read everything Rain on my window like we used to be Dancing in your hoodie, now it don’t fit me You said forever like it had no end Now forever means you found a new friend I play it cool but my chest caves in Guess I’m losing you the way I found you then Pre-Chorus I hate that I still want you Even when you’re wrong You say she’s just a phase But phases last too long Chorus You chose another butterfly While I was still cocooned in you Told me I’d always be your sky Now I’m just a shade of blue If loving you was beautiful Why does it feel so cruel? You fly like nothing ties you down And I’m stuck with the truth Verse 2 She’s probably softer than I ever was Don’t overthink, don’t ask too much I loved you loud, maybe too loud Now I’m the silence in the crowd You say I’m strong, I’ll be okay But strong girls cry in private spaces Lip gloss hiding all the pain Mirror saying I should’ve changed Pre-Chorus I tried to be your peace But I became your war Now I’m picking up the pieces You don’t reach for anymore Chorus You chose another butterfly While I was still cocooned in you Told me I’d always be your sky Now I’m just a shade of blue If loving you was beautiful Why does it feel so cruel? You fly like nothing ties you down And I’m stuck with the truth Bridge (soft, confessional) Maybe I loved you more than myself Maybe that’s why I’m here You said I deserve better But better’s not you, my dear I’m learning how to let you go Without losing who I am But damn… Outro If she makes you happy I won’t stand in your way Just don’t love her halfway Like you loved me someday Butterflies don’t stay They just fly away
