[Verse 1]
Two years go by and
Two breaths and I am
So close to coming down
It’s been a hell of a ride
You’ve been so much of my life
And I don’t wanna hurt you but
You’re still the same and
I just keep changing
And I like who I’m becoming
Growing into my skin
Places I’ve never been

[Chorus]
And I wish I could bring you with me but I can’t
I’m not expecting you to understand
I’m a butterfly circling the cage right now
Circling the cage and I, I
The truth is I am better off all by myself
I’m not expecting you to take this well
I’m a butterfly circling the cage right now
Circling the cage and I, I
I’m dying to get out

[Verse 2]
Four in the morning, without a warning
It hits me like a wave and I come crumbling down
Thinking ‘bout you not around
I keep going back and forth
I could run forever, never face you myself
I could push you to the edge and probably drag you through hell
But I don’t wanna do that no more
And put you through that no more
I gotta go to shit along

[Chorus]
And I wish I could bring you with me but I can’t
I’m not expecting you to understand
I’m a butterfly circling the cage right now
Circling the cage and I, I
The truth is I am better off all by myself
I’m not expecting you to take this well
I’m a butterfly circling the cage right now
Circling the cage and I, I
I’m dying to get out

[Bridge]
You’re still the same and
I just keep changing
And I like who I’m becoming
Growing into my skin
Places I’ve never been

[Chorus]
And I wish I could bring you with me but I can’t
I’m not expecting you to understand
I’m a butterfly circling the cage right now
Circling the cage and I
The truth is I am better off all by myself
I’m not expecting you to take this well
I’m a butterfly circling the cage right now
Circling the cage and I, I
I’m dying to get out

[Outro]
And I wish I could bring you with me but I can’t
