Butterfly Lyrics - Dave Melillo

I've been trying to say what I mean 

I keep getting stuck somewhere between 

All the words I've been trying to say 

Are pent up and broken by the end of the day 

I believe what you're trying to say 

I could let your words take me away 

But I'm skeptical been here before 

I wound up broken, lying on the floor 

chorus 

They cut you from the fabric 

Too elegant for me 

And I could try to capture you 

But a butterfly is meant to be free 

A butterfly is meant to be free 

You could say that you'll always be there 

You could show me how much you care 

But as always time's wearing away 

The best of your love and your brightest of days 

Isn't this good enough 

chorus 

They cut you from the fabric 

Too elegant for me 

And I could try to capture you 

But a butterfly is meant to be free 

A butterfly is meant to be free 

Oh where did my sadness go? 

You must have washed it away 

So I'll watch you everyday 

From a distance to keep you safe
