As part of my ongoing writing challenge I am creating 12 songs with only 6 tunes but played in different keys ... that is to say that one version is regular tuning and the alternative is capo on the 2nd fret ..  these lyrics fit to the tune and structure of butterflies.

Love is for others, not for me

I know I'm not supposed to
But I love you anyway
You're on my mind, you're in my heart
Can't make it go away
A knight in shining armour is what I want to be
But a second rate cunt in a tinfoil hat
Is all you ever see

Sometimes I wish I'd die
Every time I look at me
I see the failure there inside
And then I wish I'd die

When I say I wish I'd die
I don't mean literally
I just wish this cold life would find
Some romance time for me
Your knight in shining armour's
All I ever want to be
But a second rate cunt in a tinfoil hat
Is all you'll ever see

Sometimes I wish I'd die
Everytime I look at me
I see the failure there inside
And then I wish I'd die

And as my body ages but
My mind stays young to see
That love is there for others
But it won't be there for me
I'll hide inside my loneliness
No one will see my pain
Coz now I see its not there for me
I'll never look again

And then one day I'll die
No more will I look at me
To see my failings there inside
Because one day I'll die
