Green Butterfly Lyrics

Dream what you can become
A shake that basks in the sun
The kettle cries when it's done
Become it and just keep going

The fight was losing it's fun
And I never knew if I won
It can live and die and become
Learn it and just keep going

A friend that you can lean on
A daughter constant and strong
Admit the things I've done wrong
Say "sorry" and just keep going

The pit inside you gets worse
The talks are over-rehearsed
When everything feels reversed
You switch it and just keep going

Green butterflies, in your sight, in your sight
The easy pace of morning light
You'll be free you'll find
When you give up

Dream that you can exist
A stranger blowing a kiss
And is it you that I miss?
Believe it and just keep going

The fight was losing it's fun
And I never knew if you won
It can live and die and become
We learn it and then just keep going

Green butterflies, in your sight, in your sight
The easy pace of morning light
You'll be free you'll find
When you give up
When you give up

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think she's trying to say that if you keep moving you'll never really see all that you have past.

I think she's saying when you stop trying to get back together with someone who just isn't in it like you are, you'll find you're free.
