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

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 I truly feel your heart will lead you back to me when you're ready to land

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 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

(×2):

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

So flutter through the sky

Butterfly

Fly

Spread your wings and fly

Butterfly
