Butterfly

I am a butterfly
I sweep so silent
I land upon the light so I can see the color of my wings
I’ll always fly away to find another
Old light to make me stay
But on my wings, the color always stays

No matter where I fly no matter who I land on
Can I expect to change when I was born this way
What do I expect to lose when I land on you

You’re much too bright for me
I cannot take it
I’ll stay indefinitely
Until I feel my wings begin to burn
You don’t belong with me but I am taking
This piece of revelry
Until feel ever wide awake

No matter where I fly no matter who I land on
Can I expect to change when I was born this way
What do I expect to lose when I land on you

I will never change for you
I will never change for you
But I’m not the same without you

I am a butterfly
I sweep to silent
I land upon the light
So I can see the color of my wings
