It is never too late to be who you might have become.<br /> -George Elliot


Now that you're gone
All that I keep thinking is
How long
Till I see your face again
I'm not strong
Enough to handle this on my own

I smoke a thousand cigarettes
Just to try and clear your taste out
I turn my music so loud
Just to try and shut your voice out
I drink a billion times
Just to try and drown the butterflies

I can't believe
I fell for you stupid eyes
Is this
Everything you wanted dear
Crying here
All I see in my mind is your face

I smoke a thousand cigarettes
Just to try and clear your taste out
I turn my music so loud
Just to try and shut your voice out
I drink a billion times
Just to try and drown the butterflies

Now I'm getting ragged
My heart's slowing down
I hear your voice
Even though you're not around
The butterflies fly
In my stomach again
And I know I have to
Try and drown the butterflies
Try and drown the butterflies
Drown the butterflies now
