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
G Am
a little bit more sweet
F C
But I am sour and more sour
G
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
F G Am
You'll wish you never met me
F G
Butterfly butterfly float on by me
Chorus:
Am F C
Never meant to cut so deep
G Am
Just enough to bleed
F
Feel the sting as
C
you get closer
G
Closer and closer to me
Am F
Don’t let me hold
C
something so delicate
G
I'll shatter it with a word
Am F
Don't say a thing as we

get closer and closer
G
Damn this is gonna hurt

The ghost of pathetic past is

haunting me here more and more

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

You can paint me pretty colours
G Dm
And dress me how you like

I'm just an ugly moth in love

In a butterfly disguise

I've been thinking about leaving
since the day that we met
F
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 wanna see your dark side
