Yesterday I went outside

with my momma''s mason jar

caught a lovely butterfly

when I woke up today

looked in on my fairy pet

she had withered all away

no more sighing in her breast



I''m sorry for what I did

I did what my body told me to

I didn''t mean to do you harm

everytime I pin down what I think I want

it slips away

the ghost slips away



I smell you on my hand for days

I can''t wash away your scent

if I''m a dog then you''re a bitch



I guess you''re as real as me

maybe I can live with that

maybe I need fantasies

a life of chasing butterfly



I''m sorry for what I did

I did what my body told me to

I didn''t mean to do you harm

everytime I pin down what I think I want

it slips away

the ghost slips away



I told you I would return

when the robin makes his nest

but I ain''t never coming back

I''m sorry I''m sorry I''m sorry
