Verse I
               Another heartless night spent staring out the window.
               She hopes this time it's right, but deep inside she knows.
               Another senseless fight when he reaches home, she never
               thought this life would take her down this road. Her
               anger and fear empower her pride, it all becomes clear
               and she cries into the night.

Chorus
               What kind of man were you taught to be? Powerful and
               strong you'd say, but you're so insecure emotionally.
               You must always have control, no room for me to grow,
                no life for me to breathe, no chance for me to be me.

Verse II
                He staggers through the door, no feeling in his eyes.
                Empty to the core, the accusations fly. Their love is
                growing cold she's done with wasting time. It always
                takes it's toll on this precious butterfly. The wounds
                always heal the bruises go away. Her anger she won't
                conceal, the scars still remain, she cries...

Chorus

Bridge
                Freedom is beyond what you're living So much more to
                love than what he's giving. Butterfly, open your eyes
                fly so high into the open sky, your soul knows which
                path to follow, all your hope lies in tomorrow, leave
                behind your life of  pain, find the beauty which still
                remains.
