You came so perfectly,
Like the prince in cape
Riding on a white horse
With a smile from your thin lips.
You flashed your green eyes at me,
It triggered sparks and glitters
I blinked, and a risky feeling came
Coccoons became butterflies.
You gave me Petunias,
You knew it's my favorite
Baby, you see the bright sun?
It looks exactly like me.
You loved everything about me
Made me forget my insecurities
Made me feel I'm the only one
And told me that no one could ever replace me.
But how do we end up in this?
Like your white horse,
Your love gallops away
Until it's out of my sight.
And I weep and break and bust
I hang out with your friends
To know what you've been up to
But do I need to stay this way?
How long do I need to get over
Of something that fades that fast?
It's unfair to think of it
My heart is being a martyr to a prince
But I won't settle myself to just like this
I already walked under a perfect storm
I break so I can put everything back again myself
And you'll gonna watch me with your bloodshot eyes
And you will flash your green eyes again
A bunch of Petunias behind your back
But baby, you're million years late
The butterflies turned into dust now
