Winter came and went
It's the Spring of your discontent
And maybe you are sorry that you stayed
You have your mother's mouth and lips
Your own mind and a tongue that trips
On words you try and use to explain
Why go out like tears in rain?
Water curling down a drain
Courage, love, and dry your wings
Fly like a butterfly in Spring
Don't ask why, just do something and fly
Why not?
You're a butterfly
You want a new tattoo, you want another you
Look in the mirror, see a stranger's eyes
She doesn't know just where she'll go
Some other girl she ran the show
Maybe soon, a face you'll recognise
This is the only life you'll know
Years go fast and the days so slow
Drag yourself through one more door
Somewhere you've been, never seen before
Winter came and went, all the trees still standing bent
Remembering the plans you made in Autumn
Hope is a danger, a fickle friend
You can't trust, and you can't pretend
Your love, he saved your life
But how you fought him
Cry and laugh, and cry some more
Take time, let 'em wait while you realise
Who you are, you're a butterfly
