Butterfly

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
Smell you on my hand for days
I can't wash away your scent
If I'm a dog, then you're a bitch

I guess you're as real as me
Baby I can live with that
Baby I need fantasy
Life of chasin' 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
But I ain't never comin' back

I'm sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
