Butterfly

There's a familiar face in the mirror
See it every day, but don't recognize
There's chill in her outfit, but storm in her eyes
There's an appealing place on the other side
Seems she handles her pain like she paralyzed
I know what it cost her, I know what she hides

I find myself wondering
Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?
And who am I to look at you the way I do sometimes?
'Cause I don't know, I don't even fucking know why I'm alive

Why don't you love me?
Love me, butterfly
Why don't you hold me?
Our years are rushing by, oh
Each day we're getting older
Long nights, our days get shorter
Love me, love me, butterfly
We better fly
We better fly

There's a reflection waiting for sympathy
'Cause things got pretty messy in the glitter scene
She takes off her mask, but she'll never be free

And she finds herself wondering
Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?
And who am I to look at you the way I do sometimes?
'Cause I don't know, I don't even fucking know why I'm alive

Why don't you love me?
Love me, butterfly
Why don't you hold me?
Our years are rushing by, oh
Each day we're getting older
Long nights, our days get shorter
Love me, love me, butterfly
We better fly
We better fly

Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?
And who am I to look at you the way I do sometimes?
But if I go, If I go, at least they know I've been alive

Why don't you love me?
Love me, butterfly
Why don't you hold me?
Our years are rushing by, oh
Each day we're getting older
Long nights, our days get shorter
Love me, love me, butterfly
We better fly
