You want me to stay the way you want me forever

You want to trap me in my pupa, keep me as a caterpillar

You don't want me to grow wings; you think I'll fly away from you

Why can't you have some faith in me when I say that isn't true?

You've got a phobia of butterflies, a twisted lepidopterist

And you will never let me be an optimist

You think you're protecting me, but it's only your version of me

I can't keep being what you expect me to be

A counterfeit, the opposite, of what I need

I must be freed

You think you know what's best for me, but you don't, you can't

Stop fearing the change that was destined to come from day one
