Crow And The Butterfly Tab

by Shinedown



                  
    I painted your room at midnight
                  
    So I know that yesterday was over
                   
    I put all your books on the top shelf
                                      
    Even the one with the four-leafed clover
                        
    Man I'm getting older


                  
    I took all your pictures off the wall
                           
    And I wrapped them in a newspaper blanket
                                         
    And i havent slept in what seems like a century
                             
    And now i can barely breathe

                                 
    Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
                            
    Dandelions lost in the summer sky
                                      
    when you and I Were getting high as outer space
                             
    I never thought you would slip away
                                                   
    I guess I was just a little too late

                    
    Your words still serenade me
                
    And your alibis wont let me sleep
                                    
    And I never heard such a haunting melody
                
    And now it is killing me
                              
    You know I can barely breathe
