What started out as desire

Now you need something

To taste something just
F# G#m
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

a spark just begging to ignite

You'll wish you never met me
E F#
Butterfly butterfly float on by me

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 pathetic past is

haunting me here more and more

me through the closet door

share these covers

Sleeping with my enemies

Thoughts of others

come between us

Trigger fits of jealousy

You can paint me pretty colours

In a butterfly disguise

I never wanna see your dark side
