Closer Lyrics

Cover art for Closer lyrics by Cauterize

What started out as desire, turned into a lover's trist 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

[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, fly 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 hold something so delicate (Shattered with a word) Don't say anything 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 and I mean through the closet door And my 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 a ugly moth in love In a butterfly disguise

And I've been thinking about leaving since the day that we met Since 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, fly 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 hold something so delicate (Shattered with a word) Don't say anything as we get closer and closer Damn, this is gonna hurt Never meant to cut so deep (Just enough to bleed) Don't say anything as we get closer and closer Damn, this is gonna hurt
