Butterflies
Kailee Morgue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bright boy
You're not really nice boy
I would have done anything you wanted
Anything you wanted
Secrets
Did you even mean it?
How come I never even saw it?
I never even saw it
And I'm so scared of the truth
I never thought that I could live without you
Congratulations, you broke my heart
Thank you for showing me who you are
Thought I knew the faces you make when you lie
Now I'm feeling sick instead of butterflies
Miss me
Now you wanna kiss me
After everything's been haunted
Everything's been haunted
And I'm so sad I thought that you really cared
You found someone else, I was already there
Congratulations you broke my heart
Thank you for showing me who you are
Thought I knew the faces you make when you lie
Now I'm feeling sick instead of butterflies
So much for you having my back
I thought you were better than that
Now I'm feeling sick instead of butterflies




And I'm so scared of the truth
Oh, I never thought that I could live without you

Overall Meaning

The song tells the story of a once-promising and passionate connection that turns sour. The singer addresses a person referred to as "bright boy" who initially seemed kind and alluring. However, as the relationship progresses, it becomes clear that this person wasn't genuinely nice but rather manipulative.

The chorus expresses the heartbreak and disappointment felt by the singer.
