Butterfly Lyrics

Butterfly

Yesterday I went outside

with my momma's mason jar

caught a lovely butterfly

when I woke up today

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

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 fantasies

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

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 coming back

I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry
