[Chorus]

I watched you fade away

I watched you fade away

Your wings were clipped

And I couldn't bear to see you cry

Float away, my butterfly

Nestle in the back of my mind

My shattered, sweet cicada

In your arms, I'll fly

[Verse]

You cried on my shoulder (Cristal)

I was your heroine

Couldn't stand the harrowing

Truth of our lives

But I looked you

In your pretty bug eyes

Pulled you in closer

Kissed you when the night grew older

Then we took our flight

[Chorus]

I watched you fade away

I watched you fade away

Your wings were clipped

And I couldn't bear to see you cry

Float away, my butterfly

Nestle in the back of my mind

My shattered, sweet cicada

In your arms, I'll fly

[Bridge]

And I guess that I—

I'm the one to blame

If we didn't try

Would things be the same?

Spread your wings

And look me in my eye

Can we heal

The wounds of time?

Would we intertwine our minds?

Put your hand in mine

Stay with me for life

I'll stay, I'll wait

My cicada

The love of my life

I'll stay, I'll wait

You're the love of my life

Can we be together?

Can we learn to fly?

[Chorus]

I watched you fade away

I watched you fade away

Your wings were clipped

And I couldn't bear to see you cry

Float away, my butterfly

Nestle in the back of my mind

My shattered, sweet cicada

In your arms, I'll fly

[Interlude]

(Yawa edaf ouy dehctaw I)

(Yawa edaf ouy dehctaw I)

[Chorus]

I watched you fade away

I watched you fade away

Your wings were clipped

And I couldn't bear to see you cry

Float away, my butterfly

Nestle in the back of my mind

My shattered, sweet cicada

In your arms, I'll fly
