Lyrics Butterfly - Halie Loren

Butterfly

Never felt so old,
so ready to fold it all down
so at home on the cold, hard ground.
I’m not chasing sun no more
How I love that light,
but it don’t help when the nights get long.
I’m too tired to right all the wrongs
I must have done to end up so far gone…
But my sweet friend, the angel,
you float in on the wind
tell me this is not the end…
And you say, you say, you say,
that I just got to play this game and I’ll leave it alive.
And someday, someday, someday,
I’ll look back and see all the pain and fear was a lie.
You gotta die awhile to come back a Butterfly.
When it comes to change,
all I know is to rage against
It don’t matter the cage I’m in
Still feels like a home to me
But then the rain comes down
and I’m afraid that I’ll drown in here.
I cover my head, but it’s loud and clear:
There’s only one way out.
Oh, Cruel World, you break me
out of all my shells
I guess you know me well.
And you say, you say, you say,
that I just got to play this game and I’ll leave it alive.
And someday, someday, someday,
I’ll look back and see all the pain and fear was a lie.
You gotta die awhile to come back a Butterfly.
Oh, My Soul, I feel you
reaching for the wind,
longing to begin again…
Butterfly
