If Only I Were a Butterfly Songtext

von Imogen Heap

Sometimes i don't feel quite myself here
Sometimes i don't feel like it's my home
I would like to be a place
Where i'm free to play
A place i call my own
Sometimes i feel like
I'm trapped in a spider's web
And each thread is in itself a problem
So i try to break free, untangled
But i'm back to where i started from
Oh, if only i were a butterfly
I would fly so high
Right past the sky
And let go my fears
Let go of my despairs
I leave them to the air
Without a care
I walk alone in the dark
I wander through the night
I lie to look up high
To see the starry sky
It gives me strength to know
There's peace somewhere up there
So quiet, so undisturbed
I'm mystified
In my bed i lie awake
And i'm dreaming of that land
So far away from me
It makes me want to cry
Pray for the day for i die
