Closer

What started out as desire, turned into a lover's tryst
Who knew a moth and a flame could ever spawn a love like this
Now you need something to taste
Something just a little bit more sweet
But I am sour and more sour
Every time that our lips meet
If you're a butterfly I'm suicide by insecticide
If I am kerosene then you're a spark just begging to ignite
You'll wish you never met me
Butterfly, butterfly, float on by me
Never meant to cut so deep (Just enough to bleed)
Feel the sting as you get closer (Closer and closer to me)
Don't let me hold something so delicate (I'll shatter it with a word)
Don't say a thing as we get closer and closer
Damn, this is gonna hurt
Comes to pathetic past is haunting me you more and more
Skeletons are laughing at me through the closet door
And now past lovers share these covers sleeping with my enemy
Thoughts of others come between us trigger fits of jealousy
If you're a butterfly I'm suicide by insecticide
If I am kerosene then you're a spark just begging to ignite
You'll wish you never met me
Butterfly, butterfly, float on by me
Never meant to cut so deep (Just enough to bleed)
Feel the sting as you get closer (Closer and closer to me)
Don't let me hold something so delicate (I'll shatter it with a word)
Don't say a thing as we get closer and closer
Damn, this is gonna hurt
You can`t paint me pretty colors
And dress me how you like
I`m just an ugly moth in love
In a butterfly disguise
Cause I`ve been thinking about leaving since the day that we
met
Cause if I don't get close when its all over ill just forget
Cause I have seen the end so many times I`ve played it in my
mind
And I am scared to death I never wanna see your dark side
If you're a butterfly I'm suicide by insecticide
If I am kerosene then you're a spark just begging to ignite
You'll wish you never met me
Butterfly, butterfly, float on by me
Never meant to cut so deep (Just enough to bleed)
Feel the sting as you get closer (Closer and closer to me)
Don't let me hold something so delicate (I'll shatter it with a word)
Don't say a thing as we get closer and closer
Damn, this is gonna hurt
Never meant to cut so deep (Just enough to bleed)
Feel the sting as you get closer (Closer and closer to me)
Don't let me hold something so delicate (I'll shatter it with a word)
Don't say a thing as we get closer and closer
Damn, this is gonna hurt
