Lyrics
Do I have to say a word when there's no one to talk to
I can scream, thank you, all by myself
Does it have to all make sense? because it doesn't present tense
I don't have to tell you about my master plan
Even if I had one I wouldn't tell
There's no one can free me, cause no one sees me
Smother me in good advice, drown me in cliches
Tell me that I'm bad and go away
Honestly I cant come out, cause my cocoon's too tightly wound
And I can't be a butterfly today
Count to ten, it always helps
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
I just keep on pushing myself against the wind
Wonder if I'll always feel things this way
I came in alone and screaming, maybe that's how I'm leaving
Smother me in good advice, drown me in cliches
Tell me that I'm bad and go away
Honestly I cant come out, cause my cocoon's too tightly wound
And I can't be a butterfly today
Honestly I cant come out, cause my cocoon's too tightly wound
And I can't be a butterfly today
