Lyrics

Verse I 
Neither butterflies or angels 
Can fly with broken wings 
Nor can they soar 
When tethered by strings 
But you don't really care 
In your quest to possess 
Such pretty things 
If you're happy, that's all that matters 

Bridge 
I cry now because she was both 
Once upon a time, once upon a time 
A colorful creature 
Of gentle soul 
Who breathed the divine 

Chorus 
She trusted you like the wind 
Thought you'd carry her higher 
But that was never the plan 
Instead 
Her freedom you stole 
Her wings laced with holes 
She was restrained not by chains 
But by your silver band

But by your silver band

But by your silver band

Mid Eight 
You say you long for beauty 
In a world uninspiring 
Yet you're blind to the ugliness 
You hide 
As you sit, watching her dying 
Fading more day by day 

Verse II 
How much more would she have become 
How high could she have flown 
If she were free 
Not claimed for your own 
But you have never cared 
In your quest to possess 
A pretty thing 
But you're happy and that's what matters 

Bridge 
I cry now because she was both 
Once upon a time, once upon a time 
A colorful creature 
Of gentle soul 
Who breathed the divine 

Chorus 
She trusted you like the wind 
Thought you'd carry her higher 
But that was never the plan 
Instead 
Her freedom you stole 
Her wings laced with holes 
She was restrained not by chains 
But by your silver band

But by your silver band

But by your silver band

Mid Eight 
You say you long for beauty 
In a world uninspiring 
Yet you're blind to the ugliness 
You hide 
As you sit, watching her dying 
Fading more day by day

But by your silver band

But by your silver band

But by your silver band

But by your silver band

But by your silver band

But by your silver band

Day by day


Ending 
Inside she is dying 
But only you matter
