Take a tortured butterfly by the wings;
Hold your hands up high and cry,
Because you lost it all in the end,
You know it, the pain`s in your blue eyes.
Hold a wingless butterfly in your hands;
And know that you ripped it apart,
In the end, you lost it all because -
You took a dagger to its pure heart.
Throw a dying butterfly away now,
Kick your feet up and walk alone,
Because you lost it all in the end;
And there`s no place for you to call home.
Forget all about the butterfly,
It`s what`s meant to be, you know;
In the end, you lost it all because -
Your lies started to pathetically show.
