Butterflies

I got tired of being hurt

I got tired of being burned

so i built up all these walls

let me tell you how they work

 

My heart is ice

so that when it shatters

the pieces will melt

and they will no longer matter

 

My hands stay cold

so i wont invite you in

I am far to gone

for anyone to win

 

My world has lost its color

my dreams have lost their peace

my words have lost their meaning

and I...have lost everything

 

I wanna be a butterfly

Butterflies aren't meant to play

Can I be a butterfly

Please no more games

Can I be a Butterfly

Butterflies don't have to cry

Can i be a butterfly

and just Fly away

 

No more lies no more tears no more pain

I wanna be a butterfly

and just Fly...away
