Butterfly Lyrics by ALKE

2016

[Intro]
What if in the morning I
Woke to see the [?]
What if I became a butterfly?

[Verse 1]
The life almost had me
I got it, escaped it
What’s lost, what’s gone
He owns a cattle on a thousand hills
Pretty girls in the high heels
I’m in a city where people pray
I’ve got a body that you made
You’re in the comfort of your own home
I’m at a payphone all alone
Outside in the pouring rain
So dreaming about [?]

[Chorus]
What if in the morning I
Woke to see the [?]
What if I became a butterfly?
There’s a reason I’m alive
More than just the average guy
What if I became a butterfly
I want to fly away, fly away, fly away
I just want to fly away, fly away, fly away

[Verse 2]
He put me down, I stood back up
He’s so [?], he’s so corrupt
You’re the only guy that made me feel
Artificial and surreal
All alone in the crossroads
I’m just tryna find my way home
I just really want to know
Do we have anyone that can give hope
Hold me, and show me the light
It’s beautiful, every star, every sight
For the right kind of paradise, you roll the dice
Anything can sacrifice
I don’t care, you know that
Anywhere that I go
If I didn’t jump I wouldn’t know

[Chorus]
What if in the morning I
Woke to see the [?]
What if I became a butterfly?
There’s a reason I’m alive
More than just the average guy
What if I became a butterfly
I want to fly away, fly away, fly away
I just want to fly away, fly away, fly away

[Outro]
What if in the morning I
Woke to see the [?]
What if I became a butterfly?
