When My Heart Remembers

[Intro] I feel butterflies fluttering in me, a memory caught mid‑air Like wings drifting through a dream I used to wear They circle in the quiet where my heartbeat used to play And I reach for what they were, but they slip away [Verse 1] I walk through moments where the colors used to glow Trying to find the spark I lost so long ago Every step reminds me of the warmth I used to feel Back when every little flutter felt impossibly real [Pre‑Chorus] I keep searching through the spaces where the echoes fall Listening for the tremble that once answered every call Something in the silence feels like it wants to start A tiny pulse returning to the hollow of my heart [Chorus] But I can’t feel them anymore, those wings that used to rise They fade like distant lanterns in the corners of my skies Still I hold the shimmer close, the one I used to know Hoping that the butterflies will find their way back home [Verse 2] They shimmer like the echo of a heartbeat I once knew A warmth I carried with me when the world felt new I chase their trembling glow inside the quiet of my chest But all I touch is silence where they used to rest [Pre‑Chorus] Still somewhere in the hush, a tiny flutter tries again A whisper of a feeling I remember now and then Maybe those wings aren’t gone, maybe they only hide Waiting for the moment they can lift me from inside [Chorus] But I can’t feel them anymore, those wings that used to rise They fade like distant lanterns in the corners of my skies Still I hold the shimmer close, the one I used to know Hoping that the butterflies will find their way back home [Bridge] Maybe they’re sleeping in the quiet of the night Waiting for a spark to bring them back into the light Maybe all I need is just a breath, a chance to heal To open up the space where something new can start to feel [Final Chorus] Though I can’t feel them anymore, I know they’re not gone far They’re waiting in the shadows of the person that we are And when the moment finds me, when the world begins to glow Those butterflies will rise again, and I will finally know
