I sat too long with my shadow
Lugged her around on my back
Till that shadow took me over
And I found comfort in the black

But something's gotta give
I'm making a clean break
It kills me to relive
All my mistakes
I must have been sleeping
Since now I awake

And oh, it hurts to say goodbye
Part of me is gonna die
But the thing with wings that lives inside
Can't keep keeping it waiting
And oh, it's hard to open my eyes
Heaven knows what I could find
But it's not so strange feeling butterflies
Butterflies just mean you're changing

You're changing
You're changing
You are, you are, you are

Woke up sleeping in another room
Half of me gone in the night
In my dream I swallowed broken glass
Woke up choking in the light

Something's gotta give
I'm making a clean break
It kills me to relive
All my mistakes
I must have been sleeping
Since now I awake

And oh, it hurts to say goodbye
Part of me is gonna die
But the thing with wings that lives inside
Can't keep keeping it waiting
Oh, it's hard to open my eyes
Heaven knows what I could find
But it's not so strange feeling butterflies
Butterflies just mean you're changing

You're changing
You're changing
You are, you are, you are

Fear of a lover
Fear of alone
Fear of the other
Fear for my soul
Fear of the light
Fear of the dark
Fear of missing out
Fear of taking part
Fear of remorse
Fear of regret
Fear of problems I don't even have yet
Fear of living
Fear of dying
Fear of staying
Fear of flying

Give me wings, living things
Give me wings

I must have been sleeping
Since now I awake

Oh, it hurts to say goodbye
Part of me is gonna die
But it's not so strange feeling butterflies
Butterflies just mean you're changing
