Just a hand upon the eyes

Can be enough to hide the sun

The prettier a butterfly is

The easier it gets killed

Time we missed ain't been that much

But wastin' time, girl, has got its cost

Lost time burns down in my soul

Its smoke sometimes might join my words

CHORUS

I wish I could stay here tonight

Pretending everything'll be right

And hoping you will be enough strong

To help me get back what has gone

'Cause my arms are weak, I can't hold you tight

My arms are weak, I can't hold you tight

My heart is fed with reasons

To get healed when it's torn

If there ain't no reasons

Heart would grow up wrong

You say everything will be so fine

And your eyes will return to shine

My good feelings they will come back

How can I sweep the dirt from them ?

CHORUS

The pain tattoes the life on the soul

What's been lived is forever yours

A small spot might fade with time

But you'll always see it if you squint your eyes
