Title: Sweet Dreams and Butterfly Kisses (Intro - spoken) Forgive me, sweet dreams and butterfly kisses. I walked into the room and there you were. And I thought… you're going to make my day. I didn't know you were also going to change my life. (Verse 1) I walked into the room like I always do Tired, guarded, nothing new Then you turned around and smiled soft and slow And my chest forgot how to hold its own I felt my heartbeat leave my ribs Crawl across the floor And land inside your palms Like it had been there before In some other life, some other sunny afternoon Where I didn't have to prove I was worthy of a good thing too (Verse 2) Let me tell you about the first time Not the first kiss The first time I let myself feel it without running You looked at me across the room And I didn't build a wall I just let myself fall Slowly, like snow Like the first time you realize you don't have to be strong to be whole I remember the first time love broke me Empty kitchen, cold coffee, door that never closed right after I remember learning how to be alone The kind where you forget your own birthday The kind where you stop believing anyone would stay (Pre-Chorus) So when you looked at me today Part of me wanted to run Part of me wanted to fight But a smaller part, quieter than a butterfly's wing, whispered "What if this one stays? What if this one sings?" (Chorus) This is about sweet dreams and butterfly kisses Laying in the warmth of somebody's memories Where time doesn't matter, where the pain releases This is about walking into a room and forgetting how to stand About the first time holding hands The first time taking chances The first time you think "maybe I don't have to leave this land" But butterflies fly away, that's what they do So I'll love you like a first kiss Even if I'm only a chapter you'll one day save And forgive you like a second chance Even if I lose you too (Verse 3) Some people get a lifetime, some people get a moment But I finally understand love isn't about ownership It's about openness It's about the butterfly that lands on your finger Knowing it might fly And choosing to breathe slowly anyway instead of begging it to stay (Bridge - spoken-sung, raw) So if you go, go gently Leave one kiss on the windowsill And I'll tend the garden of your absence like a skill Like something I was born to do Like loving you was the first thing I ever got right Even if it was only for a sunny afternoon (Outro) Forgive me, sweet dreams and butterfly kisses I walked into the room and you made my day More than that, you made me remember I am not made of walls I am made of doorways, chances, and small brave falls Even if you fly away tomorrow I will stand here with my chest wide open Not healed, but not hollow Because you felt my heart before I even touched you Sweet dreams Butterfly kisses Thank you for the moment I almost forgot what I was missing (Final whisper) You walked into the room… and for one golden moment… I wasn't broken. I was just someone who believed in butterfly kisses and sweet dreams.
