I had nothing to say on Christmas day

When you threw all your clothes in the snow

When you burnt your hair and knocked over chairs

I just tried to stay out of your way

But when you fell asleep with blood on your teeth

I just got in my car and drove away

Listen to me, butterfly

There′s only so much wine

That you can drink in one life

And it will never be enough

To save you from

The bottom of your glass

Where the state highway starts, I parked my car

And I got out and stared up at the stars

And as meteors dived and shot across the sky

I thought about your sad, shining eyes

I came back for my clothes when the sun finally rose

And you were still passed out on the floor

Listen to me, butterfly

There's only so much wine

That you can drink in one life

And it will never be enough

To save you from the bottom of your glass, hm
