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 goal slips away 

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 fantasy 
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 goal 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
