[Lyric] Yellow Butterfly (Meg & Dia)

She was just 5 years old
A slightly moody day
She couldn't stay away from the river's edge and I
I turned my back to count
All the daffodil seeds that surrounded
I closed my eyes and then heard the water wake up

And I
I can still hear that scream
It's still lingering in the air
Everywhere, mother please, save me
Grab my hand, I can't, I can't
I can still hear that face, sink beneath the waves
Baby, please breathe for me give me time I am here
Where did you go?
Where'd you go?
Where'd you go?
Where'd you go?

Were the angels that lonely?
Couldn't they suffice for anybody else?
Can't everybody just lie to me?
She's home, she's home, crying for me now
Every night on a Monday
I will visit the same spot that I hate
Yes, the place that baby loved
Now she can taste it. It took her away
It's been 5 years since then
And when it hits September
I feel like I'm dying again
Ian still won't even talk to me
Talk to me
Isn't this pain guilt enough?
I can't even look out the window
Without seeing figures distorted in the sun

And I
I can still hear that scream
It's still lingering in the air, everywhere, mother please, save me
Grab my hand, I can't, I can't
I can still see that face, sink beneath the waves
Baby, please breathe for me, give me time, I am here
Where did you go?
Where'd you go?
Where'd you go?
Hey, where'd you go?

Were the angels that lonely?
Couldn't they suffice for anybody else?
Can't everybody just lie to me?
She's home, she's home, crying for me now
Every night on a Monday
I will visit the same spot that I hate
Yes, the place that baby loved
Now she can taste it. It took her away
And when the pain hits me like gunshot
Oh, and I'm heading on the way to the floor
I hear her name and it kills me
Oh, bottles up, bottles up, bottles up
And I'm trying my best to hurt me
Ian says it's never enough
A razor to the wrist for each unshed tear
Cough it up
Drink it up
Drink it up

Were the angels that lonely?
Couldn't they suffice for anybody else?
Can't everybody just lie to me?
She's home, she's home, crying for me now
Every night on a Monday
I will visit the same spot that I hate
Yes, the place that baby loved
Now she can taste it. It took her away
Oh, it took her away, took her away

So I had a coma
When I crashed my car in the lake
I saw your face baby, I knew it was no mistake
So I went to the doctor
And I told him oh my heart will break
If I couldn't see you
He just gave me more pills
But I saw you up there
Still floating by the river
God you always loved that river
I bet your heaven looks just like it

Then I'll like it too, even though it scares me now
But, when I'm with you
I'll be just fine, I'll be just fine
We can sit
We talk about
Talk about
Butterflies
Butterflies
Butterflies
Butterflies
