You fell in love with the firefly
Flying in the sky
But you wanted me for yourself
So you put me in a jar
And place me on your higher shelf
And I loved it first
In your hands
I felt thing
You gave me just enough air
I didn't want to escape
You couldn't mean to suffocate me

But as your love grew deeper
My light got weaker

How can you tear us apart?
I told you
My heart was only for you
Only for you
You ran to my life
And you want me to shine
But only for you
Only for you

I fell in love with the fairytale
And the wishing well
That's what made it so hard to see
That it was all just pretend
And these lies haven't been my story

But as your love grew deeper
My light got weaker

How can you tear us apart?
I told you
My heart was only for you
Only for you
You ran to my life
And you want me to shine
But only for you
Only for you

Live in this shadow of this good fear
But I was meant to be free
And now I know I can't be careless
With my heart

How can you tear us apart?
I told you
My heart was only for you (only for you)
Only for you
You ran to my life
And you want me to shine
But only for you (only for you)
Only for you (only for you)
Only for you (only for you)

You fell in love with the firefly
But you wanted me for yourself
