The Things You Don't Know: Butterfly Blinks

English Translations of a Chinese song: 你不知道的事 (The Things You Don't Know)


I just think this song is so beautiful... Let your heart listen to these words and allow it to fill your soul. Can't you feel the every shattering teardrop and blink of a butterfly? If not, maybe one day it'll hit you and you'll understand.


How many times does a butterfly blink
Before it learns to fly?
The sky is sprinkled over with countless stars
But how many there will remain?

Even as I fly, you fall
So close I can hear you breathe
So sorry I didn't keep hold of you

You don't know why I had to leave you
How could I ignore your every cry
All the while the downpour of your tears shattering the ground
So clearly pierced my heart
You don't know why I had to keep away
Circling in the sky above, just out of sight
So many are the things you never knew

ohh ohh
