Closer Lyrics - Singles - Cauterize

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 

And 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 

[Bridge:] 

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 

[Chorus:] 

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 

[Bridge] 

[Chorus] 

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
