In my mother's house
There's a photograph
Of a day gone past
Always makes me laugh
There's a little girl
Wary of the world
She got much to learn
Get her fingers burned
An infinity
Between you and me
'Coz we're family, yeah
Said that I'd be fine
Give me all your time
And I left your side
Like a butterfly
Shower me with your love
All of everyday
You make the milk of
Sunshine on me, yeah
Lift me up so high
Watch me fly away
Would you give your life
Like a butterfly?
In my mother's house
There was happiness
I wrapped my myself in it
Was my chrysalis
As my life unfolds
See a pattern through
Of you protecting me
And I protecting you
What was I to say?
Make your own mistakes
And when you grow
Made sure that you remained the same
Now I realize
What was on your mind
When I left your side
Like a butter fly
Shower me with your love
All of everyday
You make the milk of
Sunshine on me, yeah
Lift me up so high
Watch me fly away
And give me a life
Like a butterfly
Hey, shower me, yeah
Shower me with your love
All of everyday
You make the milk of
Sunshine on me, yeah
Lift me up so high
Watch me fly away
And to give me a life
Like a butterfly
