Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You're a pretty butterfly
You keep on passing by
You never land inside my hands
Your home is in the sky
[Verse 2]
And there's a lesson waiting to be learned
The fire starters always get the best
And the good guys never get the girl
No shooting stars cannot fix the world
[Verse 3]
And I've made the same mistakes
But I won't this time
No I won't this time
[Verse 4]
And you're an pretty butterfly
And I believed all your lies
Blinded by your sideways smile
And the kindness in your eyes
[Verse 5]
But there's a limit to your flight
I can offer you a better life
But you keep on flying from the light
And I've lost my faith in wrong and right
[Verse 6]
And I've made the same mistakes
But I won't this time
No I won't this time
[Verse 7]
I know exactly what you do
I made damn sure I studied you
You won't pick me
I'm just a breeze underneath your wings
[Verse 8]
So I pray each night you'll change your mind
And maybe I'm worth the fight
But I am wrong every time
You only know how to fly
[Verse 9]
You only know how to fly
You only know how to fly
