Butterfly

i'm not trying to change the woman that you are
 because you can't keep a butterfly bottled up in a jar
 i can let go of you hand but not your heart
 how can something so simple always be this hard
 uncover all the secrets
 you've buried beneath the sand
 you build love out of the truth
 so trust me if you can
 and i won't try giving you
 what you won't take from my hand
 i never stop loving you, i just stopped trying
 and if you can't be with yourself with me
 why should i have to live your lies
 it's time for the cocoon to open and turn into a butterfly
 you can see my tears fall down as i watch you fly
 i'm not trying to hurt you
 i've always been a gentle man
 someone you could count on
 to trust and understand
 so i try giving you
 what you won't take from my hand
 i'd give you anything your eyes could see
 spend one night loving me
 you wouldn't take it from my hands
 i'd have been right there for you
 i had so much to share with you
 you wouldn't take it from my hands
 when love is real love is grand
 please take it from my hand
 take it from my hands
