I told you I was trouble
I told you I was pain
you told me that you loved me
and promised you would stay

I'm lying under paper stars
the knots in my stomach
are  like dark butterflies
In a cold night
I was left by the door
you told me it was all too much
"I can't do this anymore"
and I watched you go away
you left as quickly as you came

now I still sleep at the right side of the bed
and I ran my fingers on the sheets
where once your body laid
I wonder why
I still leave room for you, sweet lover

all the pain
every crack of our memories
spinning around my head
I know they will come back
but why don't you bring them back?

I'm lying under paper stars
the knots in my stomach
are like dark butterflies
In a cold night
I was left by the door
you told me it was all too much
too heavy
"I can't do this anymore"
I'm not ready
and I watched you go away
you left as quickly as you came
