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
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 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 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
