Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Butterfly lets her wing brush past your shoulder
I know you know her around by the way she's so familiar
You keep bringin' me
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Keep bringin' me
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
All the time you were telling me you loved me
You've been sleeping around
And the shame of it hangs above me like a cloud
You're bringin' me
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Bringin' me
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
I'm hearing lies
I'm feeling the sting of surprise
I make myself stand up and leave
And turn my back on your hollow pleas
Let it ride
Let the wind blow past my shoulders
Let the road like a ribbon unwind
And the pain of it make me older
Let the world keep bringin' me
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Keep bringin' me
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down
