I don't not want to let you go

I let you go, I let you go

I guess there wasn't any other way

I thought you were my copilot

How will I ever run this ship

Without you by my side to navigate

I thought you were my copilot

My copilot

But now I know that you were just taking me for a ride

And thats alright, it was a beautiful ride

My loneliness is on your dime

Painted lady of my life

Drifting through the Appalachian plains

Admit it you're a butterfly

You always knew you'd leave my side

You were just waiting for your wings to change

I thought you were my copilot

My copilot

But now I know that you were just taking me for a ride

And that's alright, it was a beautiful ride

A memory of sunshine in a Massachusetts square

As I watch the idea of our child vanish in the air

I guess I was pretty clueless as you covered me with sand

Was this always your plan?

I thought you were my copilot

My copilot

But now I know that you were just taking me for a ride

But now I know that you were just taking me for a ride

And that's alright, it was a beautiful ride

Just admit it you're a butterfly

Yeah just admit you're a butterfly

You were just waiting for your wings to dry

Yeah you were just waiting for your wings to dry

For your wings to dry...

For your wings to dry...

For your wings to dry...

For your wings to dry...
