If butterflies are free to fly, why do they fly away
How to pull it close and make it stay
But when your name was called, you found a place to hide
Or are you left to wander, all alone, eternally
Even through it all, I'm always on your side
No, is it how it's really meant to be
No, it isn't how it's really meant to be
But is this how it's really meant to be
How to pull it close and make it stay
Butterflies are free to fly and so they fly away
'Cause you were always waiting to be picked to play the game
Well, everything was easy then, so sweet and innocent
If they say that love is in the air, never is it clear
Or are you left to wander, all alone, eternally
Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear
And I'm left to carry on and wonder why
Was it you that kept me wondering through this life
Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear
Well, they say that love is in the air but never is it clear
Leaving me with no place left to go from here
But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear
When you knew that I was always on your side
This isn't how it's really meant to be
But your demons and your angels reappeared
Leaving only traces of the man you thought you'd be
Is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear
Leaving you so many questions all these years
Leavin' me to carry on and wonder why
