I knew the day you met me, I could love you if you let me. Though touched my cheek And said how easy You'd forget me. You said, \"Butterflies are free, And so are we.\"
On that velvet morning When our love was borning, I said it wouldn't hurt me If you left without warning. I said, \"Butterflies are free, And so are we.\"
And you made me understand Right from the start, I could hold your gentle hand, But never hold your heart.
So, why are we crying? Were our brave words lying, When we both agreed There'd be no tears In our goodbying? Butterflies are free, Why aren't we?
