I had nothing to say on Christmas Day
When you threw all your clothes in the snow
When you burned your hair and you knocked over chairs
I just tried to stay out of your way
When you fell asleep
With blood on your teeth
I just got in my car and drove away
Listen to me, butterfly
You know there's only so much wine
That you can drink in one life
But it would never be enough
To save you from the bottom of your glass
Where the state highway starts, I stopped my car
I get out to stare up at the stars
And as meteors died and shot across the sky
Just thought about your sad shinin' eyes
But when I went back for my clothes
When the sun finally rose
Oh, and you were still passed out on the floor
Listen to me, butterfly, no
You know there's only so much wine
That you can drink in one life
But it will never be enough
To save you from the bottom of your glass
