Butterfly Lyrics - Yellowcard

Yesterday I went outside 

with my momma's mason jar 

caught a lovely butterfly 

when I woke up today 

looked in on my fairy pet 

she had withered all away 

no more sighing in her breast 

I'm sorry for what I did 

I did what my body told me to 

I didn't mean to do you harm 

everytime I pin down what I think I want 

it slips away 

the ghost slips away 

I smell you on my hand for days 

I can't wash away your scent 

if I'm a dog then you're a bitch 

I guess you're as real as me 

maybe I can live with that 

maybe I need fantasies 

a life of chasing butterfly 

I'm sorry for what I did 

I did what my body told me to 

I didn't mean to do you harm 

everytime I pin down what I think I want 

it slips away 

the ghost slips away 

I told you I would return 

when the robin makes his nest 

but I ain't never coming back 

I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry
