Where Butterflies Don’t Run

(Verse 1)

There’s a garden in my chest, overgrown and wild

Petals bruised from loving too hard for a while

Every heartbeat feels like thunder in disguise

And every dream I hold still learns how to die

(Pre-Chorus)

But then you walk in like a quiet summer breeze

And suddenly the shadows start to leave

(Chorus)

You give me butterflies that don’t just fly away

They stay through every storm, they don’t fade to gray

Even when the sky falls, even when I break

You’re the kind of feeling that the dark can’t take

Yeah, you give me butterflies that choose to stay

Not scared of the night, not afraid of the pain

In a world that leaves, you remain

Like butterflies… that don’t run away

(Verse 2)

I’ve seen wings get torn from chasing the wrong light

Heard “forever” whispered just to fade by night

But your hands don’t shake when you’re holding mine

Like you’ve known my chaos all this time

(Pre-Chorus)

And every scar I tried so hard to hide

You trace like constellations in the sky

(Chorus)

You give me butterflies that don’t just fly away

They stay through every storm, they don’t fade to gray

Even when the sky falls, even when I break

You’re the kind of feeling that the dark can’t take

Yeah, you give me butterflies that choose to stay

Not scared of the night, not afraid of the pain

In a world that leaves, you remain

Like butterflies… that don’t run away

(Bridge — softer, almost whispered)

If the rain comes down, and the winds collide

If my world goes dark, will you still be my light?

Will you hold my hand when my wings can’t move…

Or let me fall like they all used to?

(Final Chorus — emotional build)

You give me butterflies that learned how to fight

Through the broken pieces, through the longest nights

Even when I’m shattered, even when I’m lost

You’re the only calm in the chaos I’ve got

Yeah, you give me butterflies that won’t disappear

Through the pain, through the doubt, through the fear

In a world that runs, you stay right here

Like butterflies… that never leave
