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 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      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 colours   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   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      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 do 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
