I know you're a butterfly
That you may fly away,
I know that there's a chance
That you will never stay, but
I crave the wind in my hair
from your monarch-like wings
I crave your frenzy, I'm caught
I'm caught in this net, see?
This is the one you should be in
You belong in this net with me,
but I won't make you stay and I,
I would never hold you down...
because you need your space
and I need mine too, but deep
deep down inside I need you
I only fall for you because I think
I hope you'll catch me if I fall
Then we can fly away together.
That may never happen, but
that's okay, I won't hold you
I won't hold you with my hands
warm for only your touch, but
you see I love you so much,
so fly, fly away, but know this
My love is worth flying home to
My kiss is worth a lifetimes pain
My kindness is worth an eternity
My love for you will never fly away.
