| It happens when you can't take anymore... (anymore) | |
| And you don't want to fight | |
| You go inside yourself... (deep inside yourself) | |
| (chorus) | |
| Sheltered in this cocoon | |
| I will break the skin | |
| I'm not afraid | |
| I will be a butterfly | |
| The change happens when dormant emotions... (emotions) | |
| Overwhelm you and your will to live... (will to live) | |
| Rocking back and forth holding yourself... (hold yourself) | |
| You make a promise to stay inside ... (stay inside) | |
| Sheltered in this cocoon | |
| I will break the skin | |
| I'm not afraid | |
| I will be a butterfly | |
| Don't | |
| Be | |
| Afraid | |
| To | |
| Fly | |
| The holes in your wings | |
| Make you beautiful | |
| They will make you strong | |
| Won't speed you to the ground | |
| The holes in your wings | |
| They will make you strong | |
| They will make you beautiful | |
| Won't speed you to the ground |
