Butterfly with torn wings
When did you ever stop caring
The day I gave it all to you
Now you have me reeling
Left me alone to face the truth
Do you ever still remember
When for you I used to sing
Now I feel so grounded
Like a butterfly with torn wings
I would still kill or be killed
To hold you tight in my arms
I would gladly get strung up
To save you from any harm
And remember I chose 'our song'
Did I know before we even began
The saddest of lines as our lips locked
"If the plane goes down....damn!"
So why do you pull the plug on us
When we had so much 'Sunny Girl'
Do we really move in different circles
Are we really in different worlds
When you cried your heart out
I kissed the tear from your perfect skin
So why have you left me grounded
Like a butterfly with torn wings
The day I gave it all to you
Now you have me reeling
Left me alone to face the truth
Do you ever still remember
When for you I used to sing
Now I feel so grounded
Like a butterfly with torn wings
I would still kill or be killed
To hold you tight in my arms
I would gladly get strung up
To save you from any harm
And remember I chose 'our song'
Did I know before we even began
The saddest of lines as our lips locked
"If the plane goes down....damn!"
So why do you pull the plug on us
When we had so much 'Sunny Girl'
Do we really move in different circles
Are we really in different worlds
When you cried your heart out
I kissed the tear from your perfect skin
So why have you left me grounded
Like a butterfly with torn wings
