Butterfly on your Right Shoulder - English Lyrics

Butterfly on your Right Shoulder [右肩の蝶]
Vocal by Len Kagamine
Song by Nori-P

One of my favorite Len songs and one of my favorite songs to sing in general. It took me over a month to fine-tune these lyrics. I'm happy with how they turned out.



Shoulder on your right, there was a purple butterfly
Kissed you in the dark, off in the corner of the room
Sorrow is so real, that I thought I couldn’t feel
The piano’s echo, is ringin’ in my head

Shoulder on your right, there was a purple butterfly
Kissed you in the dark, off in the corner of the room
Sorrow is so real, that I thought I couldn’t feel
The piano’s echo, is ringin’ in my head

Tossing and turning in this nightmare, could you wake me before I am lost to my dream?
First impressions and misleading smiles, now that doesn’t mean anything, after all?
Couldn’t tell you what’s good or what’s bad, I was blinded by all of those dazzling night lights
Any answer’s nowhere to be found, lost in the cacophony of my thoughts

Put some eyeliner on, mascara make your lashes long
Lip gloss will make your smile shine under the lights

Shoulder on your right, there was a purple butterfly
Kissed you in the dark, off in the corner of the room
Sorrow is so real, that I thought I couldn’t feel
The piano’s echo is ringin’ in my head

ringin’ in my head

there was a purple butterfly

that I thought I could that I thought I could
off in the corner of the room
that I thought I could that I thought I could
ringin’ in my head

Standing out in the rain aimlessly, ‘til my hair was soaked through and nearly frozen from the cold
Shaking sadness in a bathroom stall as I trembled and waited all night for you
When you give chase and then run away, I’m expected to follow as you did for me
If you think it’s a game, think again, if you tread on my heart, you will pay the price

Scarlet nail polish and a trashy ring adorn your hand
Each time your heart gets broken calls for new earrings

Won’t you hold me tight, ‘cause I’ve got a hole inside
You’re the only one to fill that void inside of me
Is that what you said? How could I really be
The trigger on your heart that makes you lose control

Want to die ‘cause I’ve got so much regret inside
No matter how hard I try pleasure never outweighs the pain
I’m out of my mind, could you try and bring me down
Guess I’m too far gone, just please kill me now

Oh, from the open wound you caused, rending my heart in two
Oh, maybe it could be , love, ahh

I just want to die, I’ve got so much regret inside
No matter how hard I try pleasure never outweighs the pain
I’m out of my mind, could you try and bring me down
For the sake of dignity, I beg you, kill me now

Won’t you hold me tight, ‘cause I’ve got a hole inside
You’re the only one to fill that void inside of me
Is that what you said? How could I really be
The trigger on your heart that makes you lose control

Shoulder on your right, there was a purple butterfly
Ooh, Kissed you in the dark, off in the corner of the room
Sorrow is so real, that I thought I couldn’t feel
The piano’s echo, is ringin’ around my head, yeah

Shoulder on your right, there was a purple butterfly
Kissed you in the dark, off in the corner of the room
Sorrow is so real, that I thought I couldn’t feel
The piano’s echo, is ringin’ in my head
