she watches a darkness creeping up about half past eight
                                      
she sits by the weeping willow says that she can relate
                                   
she dreams of someday getting out of this place
                                   
she says she's never felt at home even in her own face


         
I know it won't be long 
                   
till you turn into a butterfly 
                             
I know you're weak and you're hanging on 
              
go and give it another try 

   

                                              
she dreams of puppies and those wings that look like parachutes 
                                            
she dreams of waterfalls that sweep your feet from under you 
                                          
she finds her comfort inside bedtime stories and fairy tales 
                                      
anything with a happy ending she says it can never fail 


         
I know it won't be long 
                   
till you turn into a butterfly 
                             
I know you're weak but you're hanging on 
                          
cause you're dreaming of an open sky 


                                                    
she don't wanna talk about it cause that's all that she's done 
                                            
she don't wanna think about it she's not the only one 
                                        
she doesn't wanna be what she doesn't have to be 
                  
doesn't have to be 


                                           
she wants to be the girl whose swept off her feet in the end 
                                           
she wants to live a life that's real and not just for pretend 
                                          
she dreams of laughter echoing and says it's her favorite sound 
                                       
she dreams of plastic parents that will never let her down 


         
and I know it won't be long 
                   
till you turn into a butterfly 
                             
I know you're weak and you're hanging on 
                          
cause you're dreaming of an open sky 
              
go and give it another try 
         
and I know it won't be long 
                   
till you turn into a butterfly 
                             
I know you're weak but you're hanging on 
                          
cause you're dreaming of an open sky
