The Moth Unto A Flame
James Cottriall · Other Songs - James Cottriall
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
