[Verse 1]
I had nothing to say on Christmas Day
When you threw all your clothes in the snow
When you burnt your hair and you knocked over chairs
I just tried to stay out of your way

[Pre-Chorus]
But when you fell asleep
With blood on your cheek
I just got in my car and drove away

[Chorus]
Listen to me, Butterfly, there's only so much wine
You can drink in one life
But it will never be enough
To save you from the bottom of your glass

[Verse 2]
Where the state highway starts, I stopped my car
I get out to star up at the stars
As meteors dive and shot across the sky
Just thought about your sad and shining eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
And I went back for my clothes
As the sun finally rose
Oh there you were still passed out on the floor
[Chorus]
Listen to me, Butterfly, there's only so much wine
That you can drink in one life
But it will never be enough
To save you from the bottom of your glass
