Ataris The Butterfly Lyrics

Butterfly Lyrics

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
Every
time I pin down 
What I think I want it slips away
Her ghost slips away


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
Baby, I can't
live with that
Baby, I need fantasy
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
Every time I pin down  
What I think I want it slips away
Her
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...
