About Butterfly

“I wrote this song about my birth dad. I always had a complicated relationship with him, and I felt like it was in his death that we actually grew closest. I had more compassion and understanding for who he was, and came to understand why he couldn't show up for me the way that I had always wanted him to. When a butterfly came right up to my finger on Father’s Day last year, around the anniversary of his passing, I knew I had to write a song about it. .

Butterfly Lyrics

[00:07.05] Used to dread the month of June
[00:10.02] 'Cause it reminded me of you
[00:13.52] It always came around too soon, not anymore
[00:20.48] A part of me I had to find
[00:23.89] 'Cause it was killin' me inside
[00:27.40] Yeah, you were always like a buy I wasn't ready for
[00:33.03] Yeah, I figured this was something I deal with my whole life
[00:38.26] Stop pushin' my prides to the side
[00:41.76] This is what it's 'posed to feel like
[00:45.39] Now I look up, and I see you in the sky, oh
[00:49.02] Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly
[00:51.88] Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly
[00:54.98] Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly
[00:58.06] High
[01:01.73] Forgiveness is the hardest truth
[01:05.13] It's something that you have to choose
[01:08.34] Well, at least I got my heart from you, that much I'm grateful for
[01:14.67] I know because your lying taught me 'bout honesty, honesty
[01:19.35] You leave and give me my loyalty, loyalty
[01:22.69] I'm growing in to who I'm meant to be, yeah
[01:26.18] No more lookin' for a sign
[01:28.63] This is something I deal with my whole life
[01:33.16] Stop pushin' my prides to the side
[01:36.70] This is what it's 'posed to feel like
[01:40.17] Now I look up, and I see you in the sky, oh
[01:43.19] Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly (butterfly)
[01:46.62] Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly (butterfly)
[01:49.87] Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly (fly)
[01:53.00] High (butterfly)
[01:55.25] Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, it was painful, it was needed
[02:01.24] See you changin' right in front of me
[02:04.85] You were never really graceful
[02:08.18] Now you're just what you're supposed to be
[02:11.57] I can feel you, like I need to
[02:14.94] I can see you flyin' over me
[02:20.88] Flyin' over me, oh
[02:25.98] Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly
[02:29.38] Butterfly, butterfly
[02:31.69]
