You're a pretty butterfly

You keep on passing by

You never land inside my hands

Your home is in the sky

And there's a lesson waiting to be learned

The fire starters always get the burns

And the good guys never get the girl

And shooting stars cannot fix the world

And I've made the same mistakes

But I won't this time

No I won't this time

And you're a pretty butterfly

And I believed all your lies

Blinded by your sideways smile

And the kindness in your eyes

But there's a limit to your flight

I can offer you a better life

But you keep on flying from the light

And I've lost my faith in wrong and right

And I've made the same mistakes

But I won't this time

No I won't this time

I know exactly what you do

I made damn sure I studied you

You won't pick me

I am just a breeze underneath your wings

So I pray each night you change your mind

And maybe I am worth the fight

But I am wrong every time

You only know how to fly

You only know how to fly

You only know how to fly
