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

And 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



[Bridge:]

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



[Chorus:]

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



The ghost of a pathetic past is haunting me here more and more

The skeletons are laughing at me through the closet door

And now past lovers share these covers

Sleeping with my enemies

Thoughts of others come between us

Trigger fits of jealousy



[Bridge:]



[Chorus:]



You can paint me pretty colors

And dress me how you like

I'm just an ugly moth in love

In a butterfly disguise



And I've been thinking about leaving since the day that we met

Cause if I don't get close when it's all over I'll 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 want to 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)

Don't say a thing as we get closer and closer

Damn, this is gonna hurt
