In the valley stands a tree
Lightning split in half
At the top a few green leaves
Like a memory from the past
On the river floats a boat
Without a captain nor a crew
The rope didn't hold
The knot didn't do
Oh to sing a little bit longer
At the table stands a chair
No one ever sits in
A shirt that no one wears
And a tear under her chin
A painting on the wall
Covered in dust
Of a time they don't recall
Of a time that didn't last
Oh to be a little bit stronger
Don't kill the butterfly
Don't kill the butterfly
Stay here
Don't let me live this life
Don't let me live this life
In fear
Cause I might never take it back
There's a book on the floor
In the room of broken things
It knows it's words no more
But it knows it used to sing
Scars on my knees
From when I was small
They are there for me to see
But the day I don't recall
Oh to feel a little bit younger
Don't kill the butterfly
Don't kill the butterfly
Stay here
Don't let me live this life
Don't let me live this life
In fear
Cause all we are is now until we disappear
Don't kill the butterfly
Don't kill the butterfly
Stay here
Cause you might
My dear
We're here
My dear
We're here
Don't kill the butterfly
Don't kill the butterfly
Stay here
Don't let me live this life
Don't let me live this life
In fear
Cause all we are is now until we disappear
Don't kill the butterfly
Don't kill the butterfly
Stay here
Cause you might
