Butterfly - Carey, Mariah

when you love someone so deeply, they become your life, it's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside, blindly i imagined i could keep you under glass, now i understand to hold you i must open up my hands, and watch you rise, spread your wings and prepare to fly, for you have become a butterfly, fly abandonedly into the sun, if you should return to me, we truly were meant to be, so spread your wings and fly, butterfly, i have learned that beauty has to flourish in the light, wild horses run unbridled or their spirit dies, you have given me the courage to be all that i can, and i truly feel your heart will lead you back to me, when you're ready to land, spread your wings and prepare to fly, for you have become a butterfly, fly abandonedly into the sun, if you should return to me, we truly were meant to be, so spread your wings and fly, butterfly, i can't pretend these tears aren't overflowing steadily, i can't prevent this hurt from almost overtaking me, but i will stand and say goodbye, for you'll never be mine, until you know the way it feels to fly, spread your wings and prepare to fly, for you have become a butterfly, fly abandonedly into the sun, if you should return to me, we truly were meant to be, so spread your wings and fly, butterfly, so flutter through the sky, butterfly. fly, spread your wings and fly, butterfly
