Lyrics
I hate to see a firefly in a jar
Pretty things should be left the way they are
But even after all this time apart
Firefly you're still a prisoner of my heart
Chorus
Let's start caring again
Let's start sharing again
You tell me that you need some time to yourself
You're gonna have to have to put my heart on a shelf
I just don't know if I can let you do it
Firefly let me help you through it
Chorus
Let's start caring again
Let's start sharing again
And so I'll let you fly away into the night
Somehow it just doesn't seem right
I know what's in your head is not what's in your heart
Firefly you're afraid to start
Chorus
Caring again
Sharing again
I hate to see a firefly in a jar
Pretty things should be left the way they are
But even after all this time apart
Firefly you're still a prisoner of my heart
Chorus
Let's start caring again
Let's start sharing again
