BUTTERFLY Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sometimes people gonna let you down
Not everybody's meant to stick around
I feel the pain and you feel it too
But I won't let nobody treat me like you do
I've had enough of bein' on my own
All these people I don't know
I guess I'll make it on my own
[Pre-Chorus]
So I'm sayin' goodbye, goodbye
Watch me grow from afar as I turn into a butterfly (Ah)
Now I'm leavin' you behind, behind
[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm a butterfly
You just never see my energy
I'm already high
Floatin' on a breeze, yeah
Butterfly
Fly high
Yeah, I'm a butterfly
You just never see me spread my wings
I'm already high
Watch my life go bling, bling
Now I've become a butterfly
I just fly
[Verse 2]
No longer a baby, yeah, I been around
I can see how people like to move in this town
Trust no bitch, even people that you love
I can flip a switch quicker than a blade does
[Pre-Chorus]
So I'm sayin' goodbye, goodbye
Watch me shine like a star, like a star in the sky (Ah)
Now I'm leavin' you behind, behind
[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm a butterfly
You just never see my energy
I'm already high
Floatin' on a breeze, yeah
Butterfly
Fly high
Yeah, I'm a butterfly
You just never see me spread my wings
I'm already high
Watch my life go bling, bling
Now I've become a butterfly
I just fly
[Bridge]
Red, gold, orange, blue
White, green, violet too
Too bad you'll never see
The colours inside me
To become a butterfly
Parts of me had to die
Spread my wings in the golden light
And I fly
And I fly
[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm a butterfly
You just never see my energy
I'm already high
Floatin' on a breeze, yeah
Butterfly
Fly high
Yeah, I'm a butterfly
You just never see me spread my wings
I'm already high
Watch my life go bling, bling
Now I've become a butterfly
I just fly
[Outro]
So I fly, I fly, I fly (Fly)
Into the, the light, the light
I'm gonna fly, gonna fly like you've never seen
Thought that you did, but you don't know me
Too bad you'll never see
The colours inside me
Too bad you'll never see
The colours inside me
