Butterfly

They don't even see me
Everything I could be burning right beneath my chest
It doesn't mean that I'm weak, I just need to set free
The voices in my head
They tell me I'll never be anything, anything
I feel so unsteady, people steppin on me
Crushed in colors on the ground
Fighting back the tears of hearing "no" for years
Release my fears and get shut down
They tell me that I can't make a sound
But I will sing with this unused voice
I will love like I had no choice
I will fly and forget to fall
I will spread my unopened wings
I will strum every dead heartstring
I will rise above it all
Cause that's how butterflies get to be strong
Some days I will just scream
The butterflies inside me fighting through my stomach
Heartbroken on the surface people say I'm worthless
but I will learn to love it
They tell me I'll never be anything
But I will sing with this unused voice
I will love like I had no choice
I will fly and forget to fall
I will spread my unopened wings
I will strum every dead heartstring
I will rise above it all
Cause that's how butterflies get to be strong
Still workin' on my wings
Still workin' on my wings
Still workin' on my wings
Still workin' on my wings
Still workin' on my wings
Still workin' on my wings
But I will sing with this unused voice
I will love like I had no choice
I will fly I will fly
I will sing with this unused voice
I will love like I had no choice
I will fly and forget to fall
I will spread my unopened wings
I will strum every dead heartstring
I will rise above it all
Cause that's how butterflies get to be strong
