The worst things come without waring

But only people can lie

The butterfly effected my life

But it's too cold for butterflies to fly

…

I guess she's been this way since eighteen

But I have only seen it lately

Can't clean up this mess she's making

Memories stained with blood

…

And I can only hope you can forget

The ones with guns trying to get their fill

'Cause even though I try real hard

I know I never will

The words I wish I said I wish had made you better

I tried not to let you down

They can only best you only if let them

And catch you if they can

…

The butterfly's still effective

That's when you started to lie

While my savior's still defective

It's not too cruel for butterflies to die

…

I guess she's been this way since eighteen

But I have only seen it lately

Can't clean up this mess she's making

Memories stained with lust

…

And I can only hope you can forget

The ones with guns trying to get their fill

'Cause even though I try real hard

I know I never will

The words I wish I said I wish had made you better

I tried not to let you down

They can only best you only if let them

And catch you if they can

…

You can go and you can stay

And we can can all pretend nothing has changed

Say what you want and go where you wish

I just thought you were stronger than this

…

I guess she's been this way since eighteen

But I have only seen it lately

Can't clean up this mess she's making

Memories stained with love

…

And I can only hope you can forget

The ones with guns trying to get their fill

'Cause even though I try real hard

I know I never will

The words I wish I said I wish had made you better

I tried not to let you down

They can only best you only if let them

And catch you if they can

A/N- one small decision in a cross road to move on, or to dwell on the past, can change everything forever. The past is the past and it doesn't have to last.
