I used to think time was a friend
I used to think that eyes would never end
I used to love the yellows
The flowers in the meadows
But it all turns to dust blown in the wind

It's such a bitter pill to swallow
The things that build you up
Tend to leave you hollow

I tried to catch you, had to let you go (oh)
You sent the message but I slipped it through
My fingers, and it lingers
When it hurts like this
The butterflies are always missed

We used to float like the ground disappeared
We used to stare out at the Sun
We ran for miles and miles
No question if we should turn around
Was it the times where we're just young

Oh, it's such a bitter pill to swallow (yeah)
The things that build you up
Tend to leave you hollow

I tried to catch you, had to let you go (oh) (had to let you go)
You sent the message but I slipped it through
My fingers, and it lingers
When it hurts like this (ooh)
The butterflies are always missed
