Emma McGrath – Butterfly lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've spent a lot of time on the outside
And maybe I'm the one to blame but it my eyes
In the game of life, what it feels like
Is you're messing up the pieces and it's not right

[Refrain]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh

[Verse 2]
You seem a little blind
To the issue in hand like you're trying to hide
From the overbearing truth that you're unkind
I would try and sympathise but it wouldn't feel right

[Pre-Chorus]
So whatever she's done
It doesn't matter to me
I see where she's coming from

[Chorus]
Time after time
I've been watching people walking, walking out of your life
But me, I'm nice
So I ain't ever going walking, walking out of your life

[Refrain]
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh

[Verse 3]
Somehow I feel inclined to apologise
For your behaviour and I'm not quite sure why
You've got her self-criticising like some kind of ritual
And it's bringing me down, down, down
And if I'm gonna pick sides, I think I'll stay outside

[Pre-Chorus]
So whatever she's done
It doesn't matter to me
I see where she's coming from

[Chorus]
Time after time
I've been watching people walking, walking out of your life
But me, I'm nice
So I ain't ever going walking, walking out of your life

[Bridge]
You half-hearted kindness only guides us half the way, you're blinded
Tell me off the record, give me a piece of your mind, I'll see it from your side
'Cause where I'm standing it's really not cool just how you're so cruel

[Chorus]
Woah, time after time
I've been watching people walking, walking out of your life
But me, I'm nice (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
So I ain't ever going walking, walking out of your life (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
Time after time
I've been watching people walking, walking out of your life (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
But me, I'm kind
So I ain't ever going walking, walking out of your life
