I used to think time was a friend I used to think that eyes would never end I used to love the yellows The flowers in the meadows But it all turns to dust blown in the wind It's such a bitter pill to swallow The things that build you up Tend to leave you hollow I tried to catch you, had to let you go (oh) You sent the message but I slipped it through My fingers, and it lingers When it hurts like this The butterflies are always missed We used to float like the ground disappeared We used to stare out at the Sun We ran for miles and miles No question if we should turn around Was it the times where we're just young Oh, it's such a bitter pill to swallow (yeah) The things that build you up Tend to leave you hollow I tried to catch you, had to let you go (oh) (had to let you go) You sent the message but I slipped it through My fingers, and it lingers When it hurts like this (ooh) The butterflies are always missed
