Lyrics for Butterfly Boy

And it goes from a one to one hundred Hit a nerve and it's spiraling all out of control And it's hard to let it go It comes with the territory The vulnerability feels like an ocean So cold when you're making it down into the deep Then it's ten thousand degrees And here it comes again And there's nothing you can do Because it's nothing that you did Ooh, just let me catch my breath I don't think what I heard was what you said Maybe every time I let it cut so deep It's waking up a part of me that I wanted to feel Maybe it's part of the deal Maybe this is something that'll hold me down Or maybe it's a superpower, but it's for real Is that a part of the deal? Is that a part of the deal? Is that a part of the deal? And it's better to feel something than nothing But the fragility is killing me with Skin thinner than a butterfly Mood swinging with the changing tides again And there's nothing you can do Because it's nothing that you did Ooh, just let me catch my breath I don't think what I heard was what you said Maybe every time I let it cut so deep It's waking up a part of me that I wanted to feel Maybe it's part of the deal Maybe this is something that'll hold me down Or maybe it's a superpower, but it's for real Is that a part of the deal? Is that a part of the deal? Is that a part of the deal? Maybe it's part of the deal Beside me, I'll be there quietly Oh, I want the best for you, you know that I do Remember the time we sat on the beach Your head in your hands, it was special to me Didn't say a lot, but I knew it was true The secrets you keep, I'm keeping them too You know that I do, I keep 'em for you The memories made are too much to lose Well, I hope that you do remember them too I hope that you do, I hope that you do
