Imogen Heap
If Only I Were A Butterfly
Sometimes I don't feel quite myself here
Sometimes I don't feel like it's my home
Would like to be a place where I'm free to play, a place I call my own
Sometimes I feel like I'm trapped in a spider's web
And each thread is in itself a problem
So I try to break free, untangled
But I'm back to where I started from
Oh, if only I were a butterfly
I'd fly up so high
Right past the sky
And let go my fears
Let go my despairs
I would give them to the air, without a care
I walk alone in the dark
And I wonder through the night
I lie to look up high
To see the starry skies
It gives me strength to know
There's peace somewhere up there
So quiet, so undisturbed
I'm mystified
In my bed, I lie awake
And I'm dreaming of that land
So far away from me
It makes me want to cry
...
Praying for the day 'fore I die
Oh, if only I were a butterfly
I'd fly up so high
Right past the sky
And let go my fears
Let go my despairs
I would give them to the air, without a care
Oh, I breakaway
Oh, I breakaway
Oh, I wanna breakaway
Oh, I (breakaway)
(I wanna breakaway)
