Sometimes I wish I could cry
But yet the tears will not come
I have drained them all dry

And so the days pass with a sigh
And I finally cry lonely tears inside my home
Sometimes I wish I could cry

Wishing the pain would soon fly
The days go and the days come
I have drained them all dry

Sometimes I wish I could be a butterfly
Completely free of hardships and pain embracing my freedom
Sometimes I wish I could cry

And now I spread my wings and fly
In happiness and freedom
I have drained them all dry

I spread my wings and soared into the sky
And then like a sad butterfly
Sometimes I wish I could cry
I have drained them all dry
