Lyrics

[Chorus]
Who knows why, black butterfly, you don't take it to the sky?
Flapping your wings just for show, and saying your goodbyes
Believe your lies, black butterfly, that's more time that you can buy
Wasting life on that fairy castle before you both will die
[Verse 1]
The first time I laid eyes on you fresh out of your cocoon
Sharper than a cactus, brighter than the moon
Roaming wild like a coyote, nothing could keep you in
It's so sad to see you giving up on what could've been
[Chorus]
Who knows why, black butterfly, you don't take it to the sky?
Flapping your wings just for show, and saying your goodbyes
Believe your lies, black butterfly, that's more time that you can buy
Wasting life on that fairy castle before you both will die
[Verse 2]
You made your life by that cactus, blooming like the sun
Even though you needed nectar, it would never give you none
You were mesmerized by that flower, sitting on the same old branch
In the same Palo Verde, in the same little grove on a thousand acre ranch
[Bridge]
Fly away
Fly away
Fly away
[Chorus]
Who knows why, black butterfly? Take it to the sky
Flapping your wings just for show, and saying your goodbyes
Believe your lies, black butterfly, that's more time that you can buy
Wasting life on that fairy castle before
Before you both will die
