Butterflies
These butterflies
I've got them with you
We've got many butterflies
We've got a garden too
My heart, like a flower, gave in
It opened up and gave you all my sin
These butterflies
I had them with you
We had many butterflies
We had a garden too
My heart, like a flower, gave in
It opened up, gave up and sinned
Now
These butterflies
Their scars stay with me
The butterfly garden is dead like the sea
My heart, like the flower, it withered away
Because these runaway butterflies took my pollen bouquet
