The Moth Unto A Flame

James Cottriall · Other Songs - James Cottriall

I know that if I fall for you it's gonna be my end.

But those looks that you put to my eyes

Make it so hard to pretend.



So everyday I wake to a love I have to fake

To avoid the consequences of a love.

Everyday I wake to a love I have to fake

To stop me being crushed just like a bug.



But I just need to hear your name

And I'll come running to you

Like a moth unto a flame.

You could call me night or day

And I'll come running either way.

I guess I've already fallen in love.

I guess I've already fallen in love.



So you may be beautiful.

You make me fall to my knees.

But that doesn't mean you can mess me around

And do anything that you please.



So everyday I wake to a love I have to fake

To avoid the consequences of a love.

Everyday I wake to a love I have to fake

To stop me being crushed just like a bug.



But I just need to hear your name

And I'll come running to you

Like a moth unto a flame.

You could call me night or day

And I'll come running either way.

I guess I've already fallen in love.

I guess I've already fallen in love.

[x2]



I know that if I fall for you

It's gonna be my end.

Gonna be my end
