Butterflies in my rear view

I say what I say,
Don't let the innocence fool you.
I'll keep them all at a distance,
because I think it'll bruise you.
If I don't show im giving in
you won't know im giving in
and you'll never see this
painful bubble im living in.

I fell but I won't fall,
and I realized
that I never really cared at all
I can't help but look back,
at the love you gave me
and ultimately took back.
Im in your rear view,
your in my rear view.
When you said you wanted to be near me
It was me that wanted to be near you.
The butterflies tell me to fear you.

Yea, I fell and I fell
so when you look at me
can you tell when I yell
that the fall was a fall to my hell.
I know me all too well
and you dont know me at all...well... im still under
your spell, so hell, I might as well fall..like I do everytime you call.
Wrapped around this finger
Please god...I don't want to miss her.

I fell yea I fell but I won't fall,
and I realized
that I never really cared at all
I can't help but look back, (I hate to look back)
at the love you gave me
and ultimately took back.
Im in your rear view,
your in my rear view.
When you said you wanted to be near me
It was me that wanted to be near you.
The butterflies tell me to fear you.

I guess thats how it goes, and it's now that shows me how you really feel.
I should have known it wasn't really real.
You couldnt see me feel, so baby lets be real.
lets make a deal,
Let's leave it at this,
My mind is broken..and you never gave a shit.

Damn, I failed 'cus I fell and everytime i'll fall,
Though i've realized
that I never really cared at all
I can't help but look back,
at the love you took back.
Im in your rear view,
your in my rear view.
When you said you wanted to be near me
It was me that wanted to be near you.
and it's the butterflies
that remind me to look back.
And so I look back...
