Lyrics Butterfly - Inderveer Sodhi

You know it started in a time when I couldn't fly
Last night I found a new bruise sitting by her eyes
No matter how many times we left our home at 9
We pulled back to the jailor waiting at the cell at 5

So tell me how do daughters look up to their mama's eyes?
If she's been blinded by her life for the longest time

I can't wait for the day when I take flight
Time is my luxury, so let me live my life

I will fly
Beyond my cries
To a place that's mine

I will fly
Mama my
Don't you cry

Friends be asking like yo where your daddy at
And I'd be lying to your faces like he working at
The latest hour sorry guys maybe next year, tears fit
On my tongue, he at home sipping on my spirit

Rushing home around my neck with the good news
His kind words choked me like kid go to your room

I can't wait for the day when I take flight
Time is my luxury, so let me live my life

I will fly
Beyond my cries
To a place that's mine

I will fly
Beyond my cries
To a place that's mine

Mama sleeps beside the bottle for our peace of mind
Strange how she treats a stranger with more care than her own kind
Kinda how he never looked at me with those eyes
Every time

Every time
You saw me in your gaze
Trying to steal it from you

But I'm just the haze
Just look at my face
I don't wanna be a phase

You know we could've been (Hey)
I know we would've been (Hey)
They know we should've been (Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)

Where's my lullaby dad?
Where's my lullaby dad?
This your lullaby dad
This your lullaby dad

Once a while came a night he came to me
Hands running through my hair old timer tears falling free
Then a kiss on my crown that don't feel like mine
Can a clock still be right if it just needed time from the world

Is a dream still a dream if I let it free that easy
Here you come again on mama, I ain't let you go that easy

When I take flight
