Lyrics

Moth

[Verse 1]

Thought I was different, it seems I'm just the same

As again I put my hand over the flame

I thought, I was smarter as I flew into the sun

But it turned out the way it does with everyone

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, oh

[Chorus]

I don't fly around your fire anymore

I don't fly around your fire anymore

Burned and fallen down so many times before

I don't fly around your fire anymore

[Verse 2]

I loved the heat, I loved the things that I forgot

I loved the strings that tied me down and cut me off

I was a king, I was a moth with painted wings made of cloth

When did the flame burn so high and get so hot?

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, oh

[Chorus]

I don't fly around your fire anymore

I don't fly around your fire anymore

Burned and fallen down so many times before

I don't fly around, fly around

Fly around

[Bridge]

I don't fly around your fire anymore

I don't fly around your fire anymore

Burned and fallen down so many times before

I won't fly around, fly around

[Chorus]

I won't fly around your fire anymore

I don't fly around your fire anymore

Burned and fallen down so many times before

I don't fly around, fly around

[Outro]

Oh, fly around, oh
