Lyrics
I'm drinking dust
With eyes of rust
Tonight my tears might stain your wings
So flutter home
'Cause you're better off alone than with me
So hide your face
And tie your lace
And butterflies across your cheek
Forget how soon
You'll become a fool for words when I speak
Flutter girl
You don't wanna know what I lived
You don't wanna take what I give
'Cause I give nothing for free
You don't wanna know what I lived
You don't wanna take what I give
'Cause I give nothing for free
My hands are rough
My fingers cold
And your heart's so young and so naive
To ever feel
For a moment that I might let you believe
Flutter girl
You don't wanna know what I lived
You don't wanna take what I give
'Cause I give nothing for free
You don't wanna know what I lived
You don't wanna take what I give
'Cause I give nothing for free
I'll tear your wings
As I've melted your smile
As I run all your colors away
Flutter girl
You don't wanna know what I lived
You don't wanna take what I give
'Cause I give nothing for free
You don't wanna know what I lived
Flutter girl
