Lyrics and translation

Original

I showed you butterflies

You took 'em in and burned them alive

In a house buried in smoke

Shoved myself to the ground to lay low

Color me in, fill in the gaps

I gave it everything that I have

I turned and melted back into wax

Now I don't think I know what love is anymore

Maybe it's something I wasn't made for

In a dull world, right there I fit in

With a cloud over me

Sulking, milking, shivering

I think part of me loves the pain

It's a comfort, it's a friend to me

Some kind of familiar way

Now I don't think I know what love is anymore

It must be something that I wasn't made for

In a dull world, right there I fit in

With a cloud over me

English translation

I showed you butterflies

You took 'em in and burned them alive

In a house buried in smoke

Shoved myself to the ground to lay low

Color me in, fill in the gaps

I gave it everything that I have

I turned and melted back into wax

Now I don't think I know what love is anymore

Maybe it's something I wasn't made for

In a dull world, right there I fit in

With a cloud over me

Sulking, milking, shivering

I think part of me loves the pain

It's a comfort, it's a friend to me

Some kind of familiar way

Now I don't think I know what love is anymore

It must be something that I wasn't made for

In a dull world, right there I fit in

With a cloud over me
