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 placed me on your highest shelves
And our love did at first
in your hand i felt safe
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 light
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 this lies have ended our 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 light and you want me to shine
But only for you, only for you
Live in the shadow, what we could be, but i was made 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
You ran to my light (ran to my light) and you want me to shine (want me to shine)
But only for you (only for you), 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
