Butterfly
Jessica Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Typical of you, typical of me
It's difficult for both of us
Before we go to sleep we end up arguing
It doesn't matter what it was

I, I, I
I don't know why we do it
Don't know why we do it
I, I, I
I don't know why we do it

Butterfly's gonna keep on flying
Through the night in the wind and rain
You and I gotta keep on trying anyway, anyway
Any time baby you gon' love me
Any time baby you gon' change
This butterfly's gonna keep on flying
'Til it breaks, 'til it breaks

The sunshine in the room with anybody else
With you I can't control myself
Why do you push me so hard
Why do you take it so far
I don't even know myself

I, I, I
I don't know why we do it
Don't know why we do it
I, I, I
I don't know why we do it

Butterfly's gonna keep on flying
Through the night in the wind and rain
You and I gotta keep on trying anyway, anyway
Any time baby you gon' love me
Any time baby you gon' change
This butterfly's gonna keep on flying
'Til it breaks, 'til it breaks, 'til it breaks, 'til it breaks, 'til it breaks

Don't know why
Don't know why
It's so hard
Hard to love
This butterfly

Baby, I'm gonna keep on trying
Because I can't walk away
Baby I'm gonna keep on trying
Just the same
Any time baby you gon' love me
Any time baby you gon' change




This butterfly's gonna keep on flying
'Til it breaks
