Butterfly

She watches the darkness creep in, oh
come by an half past day
she sits by the weeping willow
sad that she can't relay
she dreams of someday getting out of this place
she said she's never felt at home
even in her own face.

I know it won't be long
until you turn to a butterfly
I know you're weak and you're hanging on
go give it another try.

She dreams of parkways and those wings
that look like parachutes
She dreams of waterfalls
that sweep your feet from under you
She finds her comfort inside
bedtime stories and fairytales
Anything with a happy ending
she says it can never fade.

I know it won't be long
until you turn to a butterfly
I know you're weak but you're hanging on
cause you're dreaming of a open sky

She don't wanna talk about it
cause that's all that she's done
she don't wanna think about it
she's not the only one
she doesn't wanna be the one
she doesn't have to be
doesn't have to be.

She wants to be the girl
who swept of her feet in the end
she wants to live her life what's real
and not just for pretend
she dreams of laughter in the rain
she says it's her favorite sound
she dreams of plastic parents that
would never let her down

I know it won't be long
until you turn to a butterfly
I know you're weak and you're hanging on
cause you're dreaming of a open sky
and go and give it just another try

I know it won't be long
until you turn to a butterfly
I know you're weak but you're hanging on
cause you're dreaming of a open sky.
