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
