Time's gone by
But my sadness hasn't left
And everyone's saying it'll go
But it hasn't
I heard your voice in the answering machine
It feels like it's never gonna leave
Like... like when you told me about the butterfly
And how it'll fly away
I didn't know you were going to go
You said that the butterfly would come back
But it hasn't
I remember when you told me about the mermaid
And how lots of people put cigarettes out on her
But she was the most beautiful mermaid in the world
I know that... maybe that was you
And i didn't take care of it
I'm sorry, i just... don't know how
But maybe one day I will
But maybe then you'll know... that we shouldn't be
