I was a caterpillar
I was warm
I was soft
I was long

Like the lies I told myself
To keep myself alive
Like the lies I told myself
To keep myself alive

I dodged the foot of one strange man
After another
I was never good at finding
A good lover

Like the lies I told myself
To keep myself alive
Like the lies I told myself
To keep myself alive

No one can set you free
Butterfly

You get your wings
When you learn how to dance
I've danced for such a long time
But I never learned the steps

Like the lies I told myself
To keep myself alive
Like the lies I told myself
To keep myself alive
