Lyrics

BUTTERFLY
Lani Ford
©? 5-8-2002


VERSE 1
You killed (you killed)
The butterflies in my belly
Shot down (down to the ground)
By the things that you tell me
Complete (incomplete)
And sincere melancholy
Felt deep (down in)
Down into my body

CHORUS
But I....(I...)
Wanted you there beside me
And you...(you...)
Couldn't have cared (less) so you lied to me
And now... (I'm...)
Going away (far away/to stay) from you baby
And you... (you...)
Wouldn't have stayed (no way) any damn way
So Goodbye
Butterfly
Don't cry
Goodbye
Butterfly
Goodbye

VERSE 2
I bought (I bought)
Your insipid story
I ought (to have not)
To have thought that you bored me
But now (it's gone)
You're gone and I'm sorry
For me (for you)
For being so horny

CHORUS

VERSE 3
I got (I got)
Lost on that mountain
But I (could not)
Never could find the fountain
So age (old age)
Has always been my captain
Stupidity (lucidity)
And cigarettes keep me aching.

CHORUS
