caterpillar Lyrics

I had a caterpillar in a cup

I wanted to watch as it grew up

And changed into a butterfly

But instead it died

You sent me yellow buttercups

To smile at me as I woke up

I did my best to care for them

But the petals fell and the leaves turned brown and

I can't watch another thing die

And I can't be responsible for keeping things alive

And all around me all I see is change and decay

I need something to stay

You told me that you're taking space

And moving someplace far away

I brushed it off, said i'm ok

But i'm not

'cause I can't watch another thing die

And i can't be responsible for keeping things alive

And all around me all I see is change and decay

I need something to stay

They say the only thing is change

That nothing ever ever ever ever

Ever ever ever ever

Stays the same

But I can't watch another thing die

No I can't be responsible for keeping things alive

They say the only constant thing is change

That's ok

But maybe, just today

I need something to stay

The same
