Face to face I talk to my old friend
But his eyes are embers
I offer him a hand but he starts to laugh
It’s a laugh that I don’t remember
I try to get through but it’s no use to you
It’s like butterflies in the wind
I say, “My heart is for you, you fool”
Seven more butterflies in the wind
Your tears roll right back in your face
Like they’re running for cover
My old friend spends our memories getting wasted
It’s been years since he’s been sober
I try to help you but no matter what I do
It’s like butterflies in the wind
I say, “My heart is for you, you fool”
Seven more butterflies in the wind
The sun shines a weird kind of shine
That reminds me of old Novembers
I turn back to face my old friend
But I can tell he don’t remember
I try to get through but it’s no use to you
It’s like butterflies in the wind
I say, “My heart is for you, you fool”
Seven more butterflies in the wind
I try to help you but no matter what I do
It’s like butterflies in the wind
I say, “My heart is for you, you fool”
Seven more butterflies in the wind
