Butterfly

Butterfly so tiny and small
You flutter your wings
Through it all
Even when the angels don't sing
Oh so delicate you are
Flying through the rain
You've traveled so far
Enduring so much pain
Your colors still shine so bright
So small, yet so strong
Fighting troubles day and night
Trying to right all that's wrong
Butterfly so tiny and small
You flutter your wings
Through it all
Even when the angels don't sing

The Butterfly

Blue, purple and black

drawn upon my wrist

it means everything to me

this butterfly

keeps me from breaking down

that blade would kill this beautiful thing

bleeding away the beauty

Blue, purple and black

drawn upon my wrist

it gives me strength

this butterfly

holds me together

protecting me from myself

Blue, purple and black

colors of strength

this butterfly

is my everything

Eight years

Eight long years
I have held back these tears
You took away te safety if my bed
At night, I'm afraid to lay down my head
Eight years ago you hurt me
You couldn't let me be
Are you happy you took my innocence away
Happy knowing I don't want to love another day
I hope our happy, me, I'm forever scarred
Thanks to you trust for me is hard
Nothing I can do will make this go away
That night is in my memory to stay
Eight long years
I have fought these tears
But tonight I'm letting go
And you'll never know

----

My smile is fading away
It's getting harder each day
I feel like I'm just an object to you
Something you'll throw away when you're through
Each day I look into your eyes
Seeking the truth finding only lies
To think I'm only a toy hurts me
That is not what I want to be
I want to be more
Do you even want me anymore
I thought we were gonna be great
But now I've realized my fate
To you I am only a toy
Just like with every other boy
