Winter came and went It's the Spring of your discontent And maybe you are sorry that you stayed You have your mother's mouth and lips Your own mind and a tongue that trips On words you try and use to explain Why go out like tears in rain? Water curling down a drain Courage, love, and dry your wings Fly like a butterfly in Spring Don't ask why, just do something and fly Why not? You're a butterfly You want a new tattoo, you want another you Look in the mirror, see a stranger's eyes She doesn't know just where she'll go Some other girl she ran the show Maybe soon, a face you'll recognise This is the only life you'll know Years go fast and the days so slow Drag yourself through one more door Somewhere you've been, never seen before Winter came and went, all the trees still standing bent Remembering the plans you made in Autumn Hope is a danger, a fickle friend You can't trust, and you can't pretend Your love, he saved your life But how you fought him Cry and laugh, and cry some more Take time, let 'em wait while you realise Who you are, you're a butterfly
