Butterfly

She watches a darkness creeping up about half past eight She sits by the weeping willow says that she can relate She dreams of someday getting out of this place She says she's never felt at home even in her own face I know it won't be long Till you turn into a butterfly I know you're weak and you're hanging on Go and give it another try She dreams of puppies and those wings that look like parachutes She dreams of waterfalls that sweep your feet from under you She finds her comfort inside bedtime stories and fairy tales Anything with a happy ending she says it can never fail I know it won't be long Till you turn into a butterfly I know you're weak but you're hanging on Cause you're dreaming of an open sky She don't wanna talk about it cause that's all that she's done She don't wanna think about it she's not the only one She doesn't wanna be what she doesn't have to be Doesn't have to be She wants to be the girl whose swept off her feet in the end She wants to live a life that's real and not just for pretend She dreams of laughter echoing and says it's her favorite sound She dreams of plastic parents that will never let her down And I know it won't be long Till you turn into a butterfly I know you're weak and you're hanging on Cause you're dreaming of an open sky Go and give it another try And I know it won't be long Till you turn into a butterfly I know you're weak but you're hanging on Cause you're dreaming of an open sky
