Ataris 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...
