I wrote these in December, and I love them because I think they're very pretty. The tune I have in my head for them is acoustic guitar-based rock with piano and violin. Any comments appreciated. :) 

Verse One:

She smiles and it breaks your heart
The twinkle in her eyes tears you apart
Her laughter takes your breath away
She’s the one you want every single day

Chorus:
 
She’s a trapped butterfly, trapped butterfly
Waiting for someone, anyone to set her free
Let her spread her wings and dance in the sky
You love her, so dance with her, set her free

Verse Two:

She walks and you stumble, you fall
You hope that it’ll be your name she’ll call
Her accent leaves you dumbstruck
You always wonder if you will have the luck

Chorus:

She’s a trapped butterfly, trapped butterfly
Waiting for someone, anyone to set her free
Let her spread her wings and dance in the sky
You love her, so dance with her, set her free
(x2)

Bridge:

Spread your wings, dance in the sky
Clasp her hands, twist her around
Spread your wings, dance in the sky
Clasp her hands, twist her around
Spread your wings, dance in the sky
Clasp her hands, twist her around

Chorus:

She’s a trapped butterfly, trapped butterfly
Waiting for someone, anyone to set her free
Let her spread her wings and dance in the sky
You love her, so dance with her, set her free
Spread your wings, dance in the sky
Clasp her hands, twist her around
Clasp her hands, twist her around
Clasp her hands, twist her around
When the drums come in and the keys get louder...

Nice song there.  Where did you get the inspiration for the butterfly metaphor?  Always interesting to know what sparks an idea in someone. :)
