Lyrics
[Intro]

It was a perfect day, oh how I've missed this

Such a perfect day, just two misfits sharing kisses

[Chorus]

And after all this time you give me butterflies, butterflies

Months go by, I still get butterflies, butterflies

Perfect day, what did I do to deserve this?

[Verse 1]

Went back to your house

And we couldn't help but hold each other

Tangled at the mouth

Took a break so I could take a shower

Washed the sand out of my hair

From our perfect day spent at the beach

Looked into the foggy mirror

Saw a message staring back at me

[Chorus]

After all this time you give me butterflies, butterflies

Months go by, I still get butterflies, butterflies

Perfect day, what did I do to deserve this?

[Verse 2]

I saw "I love you" written in the steam

And I couldn't help but smile at the sweet message you left me

But it wasn't in your handwriting

Then those happy little letters

Were the saddest things I've ever seen

[Bridge]

You need to get your conscience clean

But just spare me the details, please

I wanna keep remembering this perfect day

I'm not the type to be left speechless

But I don't think I can deal with this

That's all the closure that you'll give

This perfect day

Justifications veiled as apologies

I don't wanna cause a scene

Please let me go, I just wanna leave

This perfect day

Oh, how could you miss this?

Wish you would have wiped it away

Let me live in blissful ignorance

And let me have this perfect day

But you left it all in ruins

We ended on a perfect day

Really wish I could forget this

[Chorus]

'Cause after all this time you give me butterflies, butterflies

Why'd you lie? Don't hurt my butterflies, butterflies

Watch them die, you killed my butterflies, butterflies

Butterflies ruined my perfect day

[Outro]

What did I do to deserve this?
