"Butterfly" lyrics

"Butterfly"

There's a familiar face in the mirror
I see it every day but don't recognise
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 paralysed
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
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
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
Each day we're getting older
Long nights, our days get shorter
Love me
Love me butterfly
We better fly
We better fly
