Carey Mariah Butterfly Lyrics

Butterfly Lyrics

When you love someone so deeply

 They become your life

 It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside

 Blindly I imagined I could

 Keep you under glass

 Now I understand to hold you

 I must open up my hands

 And watch you rise

 

 Chorus:

 Spread your wings and prepare to fly

 For you have become a butterfly

 Fly abandonedly into the sun

 If you should return to me

 We truly were meant to be

 So spread your wings and fly

 Butterfly

 

 I have learned that beauty

 Has to flourish in the light

 Wild horses run unbridled

 Or their spirit dies

 You have given me the courage

 To be all that I can

 And truly feel your heart will

 Lead you back to me when you're

 Ready to land

 

 Chorus

 

 Bridge:

 I can't pretend these tears

 Aren't overflowing steadily

 I can't prevent this hurt from

 Almost overtaking me

 But I will stand and say goodbye

 For you'll never be mine

 Until you know the way it feels to fly

 

 Chorus (2x)

 

 So flutter through the sky

 Butterfly

 Spread your wings and fly

 

 Butterfly
