[Chorus]
Butterflies are free
Butterflies are free

[Verse 1]
I knew the day you met me
I could love you if you let me
Though you touched my cheek and said
"How easy you'd forget me"

[Chorus]
You said
Butterflies are free
(Butterflies are free)
And so are we
Butterflies are free
Butterflies are free
(Butterflies are free)
And so are we
Butterflies are free

[Verse 2]
On a velvet mornin'
When our love was formin'
I said it wouldn't hurt me
If you left without warnin'
[Chorus]
I said
Butterflies are free
(Butterflies are free)
And so are we
Butterflies are free
Butterflies are free
(Butterflies are free)
And so are we

[Bridge]
And you made me understand
Right from the start
I could hold your gentle hand
But never hold your heart

[Verse 3]
So why the cryin'?
Was afraid we're lyin'
When we both agreed
There'd be no tears in our goodbyin'

[Chorus]
Butterflies are free
Butterflies are free
Why aren't we?
Butterflies are free
Butterflies are free
Why aren't we?
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
So why the cryin'?
Was afraid we're lyin'
When we both agreed
There'd be no tears in our goodbyin'

[Chorus]
Butterflies are free
Butterflies are free
Why aren't we?
Butterflies are free
Butterflies are free
Why aren't we?

[Outro]
Butterflies are free
Butterflies are free
Butterflies are free
Free
Free
Free
Free
Why aren't we?
Butterflies are free
