I realize now that all my fears have gone away. I've grown up strong. But if I would have known Way back then How this would turn out I would have held you closer. But I'm wasting my time, 'cause I know I can't catch you twice. You're like a butterfly that way: Too smart; too beautiful to stay. And I look by now at all our choices And they all seem to add up to the same mistake But if I would have known Way back then How this would turn out I would have held you closer and happily. But I'm wasting my time, 'cause I know I can't catch you twice. You're like a butterfly that way: Too smart; too beautiful to stay.
