Butterfly
George Nozuka Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Goodbye is what she said
when she said im sorry
And I, Im dying on the inside
Cuz i tried but I cant hide the tears
that fall from my eyes

Hold me close one more night
Hold me close one more time
Hold me close cuz Im dyin on the inside
A butterfly

hello with a little wink
But what she think of me
And oh she smiled
give me her name
But who would have thought i would be crying here
with all this pain oh nooo

Hold me close one more night baby
Hold me close one more time (just give me one more time my baby)
Hold me close cuz Im dyin on the inside
A butterfly

Now theres nothing I can do and
theres nothing I can say
about losing you
I wish that I could find a way, wish that I could see you again
If only I could turn back time

Hold me close one more night...
Hold me close one more time..




Hold me close cuz Im dyin on the inside (dying on the inside)
A butterfly....

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to George Nozuka's song Butterfly convey a sense of heartbreak and yearning for a lost love. The song begins with the singer saying goodbye to his lover, who apologizes for the situation they find themselves in. The singer is torn apart on the inside, as evidenced by the tears that fall from his eyes. He longs to be held close by his lover one last time, like a butterfly that needs to be kept safe.


In the second verse, the singer reminisces about meeting his lover for the first time. She gave him a little wink and smiled, and he was smitten. He never thought that he would be crying over her one day, feeling so much pain because she's gone. Once again, he begs his lover to hold him close one last time, as he's dying on the inside.


The final verse of the song sees the singer come to terms with the fact that there's nothing he can do or say about losing his lover. He wishes he could turn back time and find a way to be with her again. However, all he can do now is hold onto the memories and the pain, like a butterfly that's desperately trying to remember what it was like to fly.
