broken butterfly

i broke my wings last night trying to be who you wanted me to

i scratched my nails down my arm lightly

i tickled my thoughts with the reminder, you're no longer here

i fail at being sincere

i flew into his heart and stomped on it

he died a ruthless death

my name, however, wasn't the last thing on his breath

slowly beaten by bereft

broken butterfly, oh how i could just die

life is a precious thing

cup your wings and fly high

darling, why won't you look me in the eyes?

i plastered my alter ego around town

seeing him made me frown

but i quickly garnered myself and my dignity

i realized i didn't have it in me

broken butterfly, oh how i could just die

life is a precious thing

cup your wings and fly high

darling, why won't you look me in the eyes?

see me

touch me

i'm all woman

you love me hard in the morning

a body for your own sick usage

i'm bad to the bone

oh how i hate being alone

broken butterfly, oh how i could just die

life is a precious thing

cup your wings and fly high

darling, why won't you look me in the eyes?
