Butterfly

Yesterday I went outside with my momma's mason jar

Caught a lovely butterfly

When I woke up today, looked in on my fairy pet

She had withered all away, no more sighing in her breast

I'm sorry for what I did, I did what my body told me to

I didn't mean to do you harm

Every time I pin down what I think I want, it slips away

Her ghost slips away

Smell you on my hand for days, I can't wash away your scent

If I'm a dog, then you're a bitch

I guess you're as real as me, baby I can't live with that

Baby, I need fantasy life of chasing butterfly

I'm sorry for what I did, I did what my body told me to

I didn't mean to do you harm

Every time I pin down what I think I want, it slips away

Her ghost slips away

I told you I would return

When the robin makes his nest

But I ain't never coming back

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
