LYRICS

I've spent all my life,
on a search to find
the love who'll stay for eternity,
that heaven sent to fullfil my needs
but when i turn around,
again love has knocked me down
my heart is broke,
you know it hurts so bad
i'm sad to say love wins again

(chorus)
so i place my heart under lock and key
to take some time, and take care of me
but i turn around and your standing here

how did you get here
nobody's supposed to be here
i've tried that love thing for the last time
my heart says no, no!
nobody's supposed to be here
but you came along and changed my mind

again love i swear i'm through
but if only you knew
how many times i've said those words
and fall again will i ever learn
knowing the tears i've cried
this lovely black butterfly
must take a chance and spread my wings
love can make you do some crazy things

(chorus)

but i turn around and your standing here
standing here ohh ohh
no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no,
no ohhhhhhh ouh ohhhh ohh oh
oh yeah oh yeah

(chorus out)
