Lyrics
i'm not trying to change the woman that you are
because you can't keep a butterfly bottled up in a jar
i can let go of you hand but not your heart
how can something so simple always be this hard
uncover all the secrets
you've buried beneath the sand
you build love out of the truth
so trust me if you can
and i won't try giving you
what you won't take from my hand
i never stop loving you, i just stopped trying
and if you can't be with yourself with me
why should i have to live your lies
it's time for the cocoon to open and turn into a butterfly
you can see my tears fall down as i watch you fly
i'm not trying to hurt you
i've always been a gentle man
someone you could count on
to trust and understand
so i try giving you
what you won't take from my hand
i'd give you anything your eyes could see
spend one night loving me
you wouldn't take it from my hands
i'd have been right there for you
i had so much to share with you
you wouldn't take it from my hands
when love is real love is grand
please take it from my hand
take it from my hands
