Juliette Reilly Butterfly Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They don't even see me, everything I could be burning right beneath my chest
It doesn't mean that I'm weak, I just need to set free the voices in my head
They tell me I'll never be anything, anything
I feel so unsteady people stepping on me crushed in colors on the ground
Fighting back the tears from hearing "no" for years, release my fears and get shut down
They tell me I can't make a sound

[Chorus]
But I will sing with the sun, use force
I will love like I have no choice
I will fly and forget to fall
I will spread my unopened wings
I will strum every dead heart string
I will rise above it all
'Cause that's how butterflies get to be strong
'Cause that's how butterflies get to be

[Verse 2]
Some days I will just scream, butterflies inside me fighting through my stomach
Heartbroken on the surface, people say I'm worthless but I will learn to love it
They tell me I'll never be anything

[Chorus]
But I will sing with the sun, use force
I will love like I have no choice
I will fly and forget to fall
I will spread my unopened wings
I will strum every dead heart string
I will rise above it all
'Cause that's how butterflies get to be strong [Bridge]
Still workin' on my wings
Still workin' on my wings
Still workin' on my wings
Still workin' on my wings, still workin' on my wings
Still workin' on my wings (I'll walk these streets alone until I find my heartbeat)
Still workin' on my wings (I'll walk these streets alone, I don't need you to find me)
Still workin' on my wings (I'll walk these streets alone until I find my heartbeat)
Still workin' on my wings (I'll walk these streets alone), still workin' on my wings (I don't need you to find me)

[Pre-Chorus]
I will sing with the sun, use force
I will love like I have no choice
I will fly, I will fly

[Chorus]
I will spread my unopened wings
I will strum every dead heart string
I will rise above it all
But I will sing with the sun, use force
I will love like I have no choice
I will fly and forget to fall
I will spread my unopened wings
I will strum every dead heart string
I will rise above it all

[Outro]
'Cause that's how butterflies get to be strong
'Cause that's how butterflies get to be strong
'Cause that's how butterflies get to be strong
'Cause that's how butterflies get to be strong
