Butterfly Lyrics



Yesterday I went outside,
With my momma's mason jar,
Caught a lovely Butterfly.

When I woke up today,
And looked in on my fairy pet,
She had withered all away,
No more sighing in her breast,
I'm sorry for what I did,
I did what my body told me to,
I didn't mean to do you harm,
But everytime I pin down what I think I want
It slips away - the ghost slips away,

I smell you on my hand for days,
I can't wash away your scent,
If I'm a dog then you're a bitch,

I guess you're as real as me,
Maybe I can live with that,
Maybe I need fantasy,
A life of chasing Butterfly,
I'm sorry for what I did,
I did what my body told me to,
I didn't mean to do you harm,
But everytime I pin down what I think I want
It slips away - the ghost slips away,

I told you I would return,
When the robin makes his nest,
But I ain't never comin' back,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
