As A Butterfly

Lyricist: Pontus Hjelm     Composer: Pontus Hjelm

No, I just refuse to believe my eyes
In front of me something I can't recognize
You stood beside me all my life

The heart machines are ticking,
I can hear the life sport pumping
The line between life and death,
Doesn't become any clearer than this
Cover the oxygen mask
These words will be his last
With the energy he's got left
He turns to me to say

I cannot stand by you
Till the end of the world,
Like I said I would do
No, I won't be able to
Help you carry the weight of the world
My time has come
Silent as a butterfly
I'll be flying beside you,
Watching above you
Silent as a butterfly

All of the sudden I've lost my strength
Isn't it scary how things can change
It made an instant just like that

Whenever I have questions,
You always have the answers
You told me about life
And the importance of being yourself
What you are, you value honesty
How not to lose grip of reality
With both your feet on the ground

I cannot stand by you
Till the end of the world,
Like I said I would do
No, I won't be able to
Help you carry the weight of the world
My time has come
Silent as a butterfly
I'll be flying beside you,
Watching above you
Silent as a butterfly

You weren't supposed to see me like this
And I'm sorry
I would say it's not true
But I will see you soon

I cannot stand by you
Till the end of the world,
Like I said I would do
No, I won't be able to
Help you carry the weight of the world
My time has come
Silent as a butterfly
I'll be flying beside you,
Watching above you
Silent as a butterfly
