Clara, I can't believe how this has come to be
Clara, to understand just try and think of me
It's cold here, it's cold inside this room, my heart, this sea
This ocean that we're drowning in, this gift that life brought me

I don't know why I must be here
I don't know why I must be here

Clara, you're all I have, your portrait in my mind
I know it will die with me and you'll still be fine
Till this storm is over, this weight on my shoulders
I can't stand emotion, without you I can't feel

I don't know why I must be here
I don't know why I must be here
I don't know why I must be here
I don't know why I must be here

But I wish you always dreams of butterflies
Of childhood memories of summertime
Clara, to forgive me, please just try
And we'll float away butterfly

I don't know why I must be here
I don't know why I must be here
I don't know why I must be here
I don't know why I must be here
