Lyrics Butterfly - Kina Grannis

Yesterday I went outside
With my momma′s Mason jar
Caught a lovely butterfly

When I woke up today
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
Every time I pin down what I think I want, it slips away
The ghost slips away

I guess you're as real as me
Maybe I can live with that
Maybe I need fantasy
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
Every time 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
I ain′t never coming back
