Thought I'd caught a butterfly, turned out to be a moth
Now you've eaten holes in everything I have that's made of cloth
That is to say, my heart and all my hopes and dreams
If moths would eat those sorts of things
I guess it was a poor analogy
Can't afford to find a better one
You've taken all my currency
Thoughts I'd use to think of better words to say
You've taken all my words away
Of course, that's only a figure of speech
Cause I'm still rambling on the way I always do
I find it strange that we use words to say
That we don't have the words to say the words we want to say
But, hey, you never listen anyway
Thought I caught a butterfly, turns out that I'm a fool
And you were only holding cardboard wings that you had painted blue
Like my heart now, thanks to you
