"Fragile Butterfly" represents the story of a person who's terrified of falling in love since he had a tragic experience with it, until one day he meets someone and the emotion returns, but with the dread that the bad things that happened in the past may happen again.
lyrics
In a golden summer day
I spied you in the air
A gentle dance with a bumbling bee
and a pickup line by blink-182
You smiled and replied, ignited a spark
But hesitation holds me back
With a painful past, make me wary to amend
And break free from the chains that bind
my chest
How long to take that chance
to embrace myself, telling me that love is so true
Even though I don’t go through your head
I see the kindness in your eyes
Within that glimmer, I found a reason to stay
Too afraid to take that leap of faith
Even with haystack on the bottom
Perhaps with care, my fears will fade away
The timid heart may hesitate
To step beyond the walls I’ve built
To find the joy I’ve lost in this enchanted space
So, let us dance with cautious steps
And a hope to heal my heart, to ascend
As in the end when I dare to love again
With some tender words you share
Wasn’t easy but I must embrace
Too afraid to take that leap of faith
Even with haystack on the bottom
Perhaps with care, my fears will fade away
But the scars of "her" still linger on like a waves upon the shore
"Love is a fragile butterfly" it’ll depend
