Sleeps With Butterflies Lyrics

Lyric discussion by rita book 

Cover art for Sleeps With Butterflies lyrics by Tori Amos

She's saying that she sleeps with men (butterflies) who are always flying off somewhere but that her love for this particular one means that she won't hold him back, she'll be there when he gets back still loving him unconditionally. I'm so this girl it's not even funny- always falling for the guy who won't stick around. My last relationship which lasted four years was w/ a guy I thought to be the "one" and I'm still broken -hearted but always hopeful that one day he'll realize how much unconditional love I have for him .
