Butterfly Lyrics - Ataris

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
