Butterfly in a Glass Jar

 

You never gave me your strength

But I’ve always been stronger

You never gave me your love

But I’ve given you mine

You were just an illusion, my tormenting confusion

Was I ever good enough for you?

 

You were the butterfly in the glass jar

That I could never let go,

So I ripped your wings off,

So you couldn’t fly away, fly away from me.

 

(Just let me go)

(Please, just let me go)

 

You never gave me your strength,

Your love, your anything.

Was I just an illusion, some tormenting confusion?

Was I ever good enough for you?

 

You were the butterfly in the glass jar

That I could never let go,

So I ripped your wings off,

So you couldn’t fly away, fly away from me.

 

You were the person I could imagine

Spending the rest of my life with,

In your arms, in your arms

 

I could never let you fly away

Please don’t leave me, I said

(Don’t you) don’t you go

I don’t wanna live without you

I don’t wanna die within you

You were my butterfly

You’re my butterfly

 

Please don’t leave me, I said

Don’t you go, please

Please don’t leave

Don’t leave me

Don’t leave me, don’t

Don’t leave me, don’t

Don’t leave, don’t you go
