Butterfly Lyrics by McCafferty

Sum of All Fears

2016

Fly, butterfly, fly
Straight through the wall and through my mouth
I will survive this broken winter in this house
I can't provide but I can sure as hell try
Fly, butterfly, fly
Fly, butterfly, fly

Fly, butterfly, fly
Straight through the wall and through my mouth
I will survive this broken winter in this house
I can't provide but I will try
Fly, butterfly, fly
Fly, butterfly, fly

Don't fly away, don't fly away
Just stay with me and clip your wings
She begs and pleads for him to stay
But Peter Pan has changed his ways

Don't fly away, don't fly away
Just stay with me and clip your wings
She begs and pleads for him to stay
But Peter Pan has changed his ways

Fly, butterfly, fly like you had to
With the words on your arm from a tattoo
Of the names of the bands that you love
And the friend that you lost, and the girls that you saw

Us plus you equals terror, us plus you equals pain
Us plus you equals all those things that I thought I could change

Us plus you equals terror, us plus you equals pain
Us plus you equals all these things that I thought I could change
