DJ, don't play the song
Because every time it plays, my heart breaks
Because every time that I think of him, I feel like I'm going crazy
Because I don't have my baby
And I still want him here
That kiss was for me
But it's not going to be anymore
I don't want to lose you
Why do you leave so easily?
I'm still here, thinking only of you
And I haven't told anyone
I lost my mind and I'm crazy for you
Chorus 1
Today, butterflies don't fly anymore
There are no more roses
The ones that in the summer you were giving me
And tonight
Nothing will be the same
To dance without you, I don't know how to dance
The music doesn't sound the same
Verse 2
Another empty night thinking 'Why did he leave?'
Another night where I didn't forget
Yes, I'm like that
Last night, I cried
But I won't cry anymore
Well, at least I tried
To not call you, and I didn't call
Because without you nothing tastes good to me
I'm not going to cry anymore
I swear that I won't cry
Even though I know that I won't forget
Because without you nothing tastes good to me
Chorus 2
Butterflies fly
There are no more roses
The ones that in the summer you were giving me
And tonight
Nothing will be the same
To dance without you, I don't know how to dance
The music doesn't sound the same
Butterflies fly on the light bulbs
Attracted as if it were sunlight
Like me, who among billions of people
I come towards you
Today, butterflies don't fly anymore
There are no more roses
The ones that in the summer you were giving me
And tonight
Nothing will be the same
To dance without you, I don't know how to dance
The music doesn't sound the same
