Moth

I blame it all on you for feeling this way

You and your wily ways

'Cause I don't stand to gain a thing

I give you all the room you need

I fill in the gaps between your lines

But there's nothing there to read

And I can't stop now

I can't give in

Did you take all that you wanted?

Go round and round

The ice is thin

Have you no mercy?

It's getting awfully hot in here

I race for an escape

You're radiating all I fear

I know I'll burn if I get too near

But I can't pull away, though I've nothing to gain

I'm a moth to your flame

I know you've had your suspicions

Because I've given you reason to doubt

That my words are without meaning

I'd break you out of your cell

I would slip you the key under watchful eyes

But you pretend not to see

And I see you smile

I feel you stare

The mercury keeps rising

You start this fire

Send up your flares

Then leave me hanging

Grant me some relief, be it only one kiss

Stave off my yearning with the grace of your lips

Give me some reprieve, let it be my demise

Have I misread all of your seemingly tell-tale signs

And your promising rhymes?

You burn my wings and...

I blame it all on you for feeling this way

You and your wily ways

'Cause I'm just a moth to your flame
