to kill this
04/16/07, 08:28 PM
You've got your fingers crossed behind your back
I've got my hands clasped,
shaking in my skin
you wear me out, you wear me down
you can count my veins, i'm so thin
so naked, while you fake this smile
and why can't i see
why can't i breathe
still, these butterflies
sink and rise
when you are next to me
I've got my tongue tied up
in pretty ribbons and bows
a gift for you, and you can show it to
all of your friends
tell them how you've got me
laced up around your finger again
and why can't i see
why can't i breathe
still, these butterflies
sink and rise
when you are next to me
I sail through your eyes
guided by the sunrise of your smile
I drift to shore back to your arms once more
but you've still got your fingers crossed
and i've got my stupid smile
with my stupid gleam of hope
and still i don't know
why i can't see, why i can't breathe
why these butterflies still
sink and rise, when you are next to me
I've got my hands clasped,
shaking in my skin
you wear me out, you wear me down
you can count my veins, i'm so thin
so naked, while you fake this smile
and why can't i see
why can't i breathe
still, these butterflies
sink and rise
when you are next to me
I've got my tongue tied up
in pretty ribbons and bows
a gift for you, and you can show it to
all of your friends
tell them how you've got me
laced up around your finger again
and why can't i see
why can't i breathe
still, these butterflies
sink and rise
when you are next to me
I sail through your eyes
guided by the sunrise of your smile
I drift to shore back to your arms once more
but you've still got your fingers crossed
and i've got my stupid smile
with my stupid gleam of hope
and still i don't know
why i can't see, why i can't breathe
why these butterflies still
sink and rise, when you are next to me
