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

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

If you’re a butterfly I’m suicide by insecticide

If I am kerosene then you’re a spark just begging to ignite

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 paint me pretty colors

And dress me how you like

I’m just an ugly moth in love

In a butterfly disguise

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

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
