Let Her Be

Once there was this butterfly
She was sweet, she was brave, she was wild
She was wandering in the woods
Then she found a good place to stay the night
You were the place she thought she was safe
You were the place to come back in the end of the day

Then one night
She just felt like staying outside
But you yelled at her
Said "come back inside"
It was all just a lie and now you have to

Let her be
Let the poor Pink Butterfly
Set her free
'Cause she really needs to fly, she has to breathe
And all you did was suffocate her

Now she goes on all alone
But she knows she is better on her own
She's not meant to have someone
Or a place, anywhere to call it home
You were her light when she couldn't see
You gave her love, you made her believe

Then why
Did you have to be so mean and make her cry
Had to turn into a cage but she's a butterfly
She's been missing you
But she's never coming back
And now you have to

Let her be
Let the poor Pink Butterfly
Set her free
'Cause she really needs to fly, she has to breathe
You didn't have to suffocate her

And now the Butterfly is sad (She's so sad)
But she knows all the pain and hurt will pass (Will pass)
She will fly away from here (Fly away)
And what she felt pretty soon will disappear
But this time
The Pink Butterfly will never stop (Never stop)
Close your eyes
And let her make it to the top (To the top)

Let her be
Set her free

Let her be
Set her free
