    Shinedown

    Lyrics

    I painted your room at midnight
    So I'd know yesterday was over
    I put all your books on the top shelf
    Even the one with the four leaf clover
    Man I'm getting older

    I took all your pictures off the wall
    And I wrapped them in a newspaper blanket
    And I haven't slept in what seems like a century
    And now I can barely breathe

    [Chorus: ]
    Just like the crow chasing the butterfly
    Dandilions lost in the summer sky
    'Cause when you and I were gettin' high as outer space
    I never thought you would slip away
    I guess I was just a little too late

    Your words still serenade me
    And your lullabys, they won't let me sleep
    And I've never heard such a haunting melody
    And now it is killing me
    You know I can barely breathe

    [Chorus: Repeat 3X ]
    I was just a little too late
    I was just a little too, little too late
