Swallowing Butterflies Alive Lyrics

she blew me off tonight
we made love but if wasn't true what is?
let's blow it all, blow it again, to the point we've never happened
i don't know what she's ever seen in me

it isn't worth repeating or beating yourself up for...

with a second chance i'd change it all
just to see if i'd go through with it, abruptly without withdrawal
how many hits can i take this time? i'm patient in awe

if only my lips had the jaws of life to pry her crying stapled eyes
my heart could be her respirator, verbatim she'd rather die than be stabilized
i'd be made her donor
i should've known her, better than i thought i did

i should've known... all we had to do was ask (2x)

such a truth can hurt you
the sharpest sweet tooth is her virtue
once it sinks in, it's easy to tell - an end as it begins in distances
to think we got jinxed from saying ?this'll last eternity? at the same instances

bridge & chorus

extracted tears itch, in eyes of exact spirits
a beginners luck's experienced, at turnpike depressed eerie inns
as she enters my veins, it's medicinal
first come down came around, she was unconditional

i'm picking at the start of that deep memoirs scar (2x)
