Butterflies
SAINT TRAGEDY Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been caught in a world I can't win
And all these thoughts are buried under my skin
I don't know how
And I don't know why
I've been left here on these lonely nights
A love has died for you and I
Butterfly fly away
Here I stand on my own again
Guess I'll find my own way
Butterflies butterflies
Butterfly fly away
Butterflies butterflies
Fly away
Now I've been told once before that I'll make it through this
And I've been counting all these thorns that have pushed me to the edge
Nothings here to let me down
I'm almost six feet underground
And I don't have much left to give
A love has died for you and I
Butterfly fly away
Here I stand on my own again
Guess I'll find my own way
Butterflies butterflies
Butterfly fly away
Butterflies butterflies
Fly away
Fly away
Fly away
A love has died for you and I
Butterfly fly away
Here I stand on my own again
Guess I'll find my own way
Butterflies butterflies
Butterfly fly away
Butterflies butterflies
Fly away
Fly away




Fly away
Fly away
