All That's Left - Butterfly lyrics

rate me

[ORiGiNAL BY WEEZER]

Yesterday I went outside

With my momma's mason jar

Caught a lovely Butterfly

When I woke up today

And 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

But everytime I pin down what I think I want

it slips away - the ghost slips away

I smell you on my hand for days

I can't wash away your scent

if I'm a dog then you're a b*tch

I guess you're as real as me

maybe I can live with that

maybe I need fantasy

a 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

But everytime I pin down what I think I want

it slips away - the 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
