Butterflies
Alexis Roussiaux Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I
You say I′m too much
But you made me who I am
I remember your smile
And said goodbye to half a man
You were laughing over coffee
I was falling, head over heals
Lost in that space
Where one look at your face
And I, let go of the wheel.
And i will bring you flowers

Cause you give me Butterflies,
Reasons to live
Sunshine everyday
That is what you give
I know I was lost
And now I know, I know why
I was waiting for you
You and your Butterflies
II
I live for your words
Its like they turn a key
Everyone should feel love like this
Like honey to me
I was an island
Everyone just sailing by
I needed you
Before I knew why

Cause you give me Butterflies,
Reasons to live
Sunshine everyday
That is what you give
I know I was lost
And now I know, I know why
I was waiting for you
You and your Butterflies

You say I'm too much
You made me who I am

Overall Meaning

This song, "Butterflies" by Alexis Roussiaux, is about finding love that transforms one's life. The first verse starts with the singer being criticized, being told that they are "too much." But the singer does not believe this statement to be true. They attribute who they are to the person they're talking to, acknowledging that their lover makes them feel complete. The second line talks about the memory of the person's smile, which helps the singer remember why they left someone else behind. This line is significant because it shows that the singer has already been on a journey of self-discovery, and they are now looking for something they haven't found yet, but they know what they want.


The chorus, "Cause you give me Butterflies, Reasons to live," is the core of the song. The singer found love that gives them reason to live and feel the sunshine, even on bad days. The next verse shows the singer's transformation. Previously, they were alone and felt like an "island" while everyone just sailed by. They knew they needed someone but didn't know why. But now, with their lover's mere words, they feel magically propelled toward happiness like a key unlocking a door. The final line of the song from the first verse repeats, "You say I'm too much/You made me who I am."
