Butterfly Effect (feat. Nick Battani) Video (MV)

I said it's best, if we go our separate ways
In the end I'm not healthy for you babe
I can see you're too good to be with me
You deserve the best, butterfly effect
When we parted ways I thought I'd see you on Broadway
By the age of 28 I couldn't get in a star's way
Left you behind for your own sake, the only way
I could assure I wouldn't get in your way
A lot of good that did, you didn't see your 25th birthday
And the worst thing is the butterfly effect that I tried to prevent
Came around full circle and hurt you in the worst way
I'm on my knees in my church saying swear words
At the altar until I feel like I'm f*ckin' heard
Dear Yahweh, why the f*ck did you take her?
I made this sacrifice in the hopes that you'd save her
My social anxiety has taken a casualty
And my own self-hate has led a girl to her grave
Logic doesn't dictate I should take any blame
But I can't escape the headspace I'm in because
I said it's best if we go our separate ways
In the end I'm not healthy for you babe
I can see you're too good to be with me
You deserve the best, butterfly effect
Whenever I'm in Denver and pass Casa Bonita
It'll have a different meaning, one of feeling defeated
You may have been poison, but I could have been the antidote
To me drugs were more than just sex, hate, rock and roll
But drugs are drugs and I knew I was on them
I saw your future shining bright and just thought I would harm it
I didn't think down the line I wouldn't see those eyes again
Look up and I see an angel fall from the sky
It really hit me hard when I thought about the cause of it
If walls could f*ckin' talk, I'd be on them with the questions
I wanna know the boyfriend who had started you on heroin
Look him in the eye and jam him in the neck with a syringe
Push the plunger in until he's pukin' orange shit
Blood and foamin' at the mouth, Denver got me horricorin
I'll take his worthless life and nobody can stop me
They'll dig his lifeless body out the dumpster at the Roxy
I said it's best if we go our separate ways
In the end I'm not healthy for you babe
I can see you're too good to be with me
You deserve the best, butterfly effect
I said it's best if we go our separate ways
In the end I'm not healthy for you babe
I can see you're too good to be with me
You deserve the best, butterfly effect
