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
|
