Your mouth is full of butterflies
That come out in an explosion of color
Every time you speak
I used to speak stained glass
But I bit down too hard
And now I speak in shards
That break your butterflies
And slice my throat
I never thought that they could break your heart
Now every I love you is a dagger
You speak in shredded butterfly wings
And it's my fault
Shreds and shards
And broken hearts
Look what's become of us
