Brent Smith - The Crow & the Butterfly lyrics

[Verse 1] I painted your room at midnight So I'd know yesterday was over I put all your books on the top shelf Even the one with the four leaf clover Man, I'm getting older [Verse 2] I took all your pictures off the wall And wrapped them in a newspaper blanket I haven't slept in what seems like a century And now I can barely breathe [Chorus] Just like a crow chasing the bu*terfly Dandelions lost in the summer sky When you and I were getting high as outer space I never thought you'd slip away I guess I was just a little too late [Verse 2] Your words still serenade me Your lullabies won't let me sleep I've never heard such a haunting melody Oh, it's k**ing me You know I can barely breathe [Chorus] Just like a crow chasing the bu*terfly Dandelions lost in the summer sky When you and I were getting high as outer space I never thought you'd slip away I guess I was just a little too late [Interlude] [Chorus] Just like a crow chasing the bu*terfly Dandelions lost in the summer sky When you and I were getting high as outer space I never thought you'd slip away [Chorus] Like a crow chasing the bu*terfly Dandelions lost in the summer sky [When you and I were getting high as outer space I never thought you'd slip away I guess I was just a little too late [Outro] Just a little too late
