I went and bought you flowers.
But I gave them away to somebody else.
We made plans for hours.
But I lived them out with somebody else.
Someone had the life, had the cries, had the first dance.
Butterflies in the back of my old car.
A thousand lives,
Caught in a fire,
Dancing on hallowed ground.
I count the times
We tried but I, I, I, I,
Know some stories don’t play out.
We took a shot.
But the truth is that we couldn’t live through the pain.
A thousand lives
Now I’m sat here thinking what if one went right.
Kept your letters in the basement.
Of a house that I bought with somebody else.
I went and bought a bracelet
But I wrote a different name when I engraved it
Someone had the life, had the cries, had the first dance
Butterflies in the back of my old car
It was gone in a rush
Now it’s all in the dust oh
CHORUS
Every face
Every place
Makes me think about it
Every doubt, but it’s too late now.
Every street
Every scene
Makes me think about it
Every need, but it’s too late cause
CHORUS
