About a couple who broke up-he called her butterfly because of her changes. 3 parts.
{c}Butterfly #1: Do you remember what you called me?

I was your butterfly,
Where did I go, right?
I miss you all the time,
You never left my mind.

Do you remember what you called me?
Do you remember everything we said?

I’m not over you, this time,
I have a dream that I want to come true,
That you’re mine,
I’m still your butterfly,
I’m still your butterfly.

Funny how, the answers come,
As soon as it’s too late.
It’s funny how, you try to run,
As everything comes flooding back.

I’m not over you, this time,
I have a dream that I want to come true,
That you’re mine,
I’m still your butterfly,
I’ll always be your butterfly.

I didn’t fly away, from you,
I was scared, just like you,
If you want me to, I’ll fly home to you,
I’m your butterfly, and I love you.

Do you remember what you called me?
Your butterfly.

I’m not over you, this time,
I have a dream that I want to come true,
That you’re mine,
I’m still your butterfly,
I’m still your butterfly.

Do you remember what you called me?
Your butterfly.


Butterfly #2: Why do you change like the butterfly?

Here I am again,
Just staring at my feet again,
Waiting for you to walk by.

I cried for like an hour,
Realising I could never hate you,
And I stared at every flower,
Each one as sweet as you.

And you’d ask me…

*Why do you change,
Just like the butterfly?
Your thoughts they range,
Over and over, I can’t keep up,
But I’m not running outta love,
Why do you change,
Just like the butterfly?

Here I stand again,
Just standing on the street again,
Waiting for you to walk by.

I tried for so many hours,
Finding what caused the pain,
I let go of so many fears,
And I let go of so many tears.

And you’d ask me…

*Repeat.

It’s 1AM, I’m laying here,
Writing on the wall,
I can’t sleep, you’re all I can think of,
And I can’t let go.

Because you’d ask me…

*Repeat.

Why do you change,
Just like the butterfly?

Butterfly #3: Always your little butterfly.

At night, I thought about you,
And I sent wishes to the stars.
And I was crazy about you,
Those wishes I found in your heart.

The light reflected in your eyes,
The eyes that made me want to try.
You helped me to get up and fly,
And you saved my life.

*I don’t know what’s going to happen,
But there’s one thing I want you to know.
No matter how much time goes by,
I will always be your little butterfly,
Always your little butterfly.

3AM, I still wasn’t sleeping,
You took over all of my thoughts,
I wasn’t ashamed to cry,
Like I was before.

The light reflected in your eyes,
The eyes that made me want to try.
You helped me to get up and fly,
And you saved my life.

I loved so much just to see you smile,
For that, I would travel 1000 miles,
And I savoured every passing moment,
And I didn’t want you to go.

I think it’s been a few hours now,
I’ve been thinking only of you.

The light reflected in your eyes,
The eyes that made me want to try.
You helped me to get up and fly,
And you saved my life.

*Repeat

Always your little butterfly.
Always your little butterfly.
I will always be, your little butterfly.
