You step in like a moth to flame

You love a challenge, someone you can’t tame

A taste of recklessness and fame

If you get hurt you have yourself to blame

Come closer, but not too close

I know I’m the one you chose

When I get your call at night I feel alive

Temporary emotions is where I thrive

Back to my place after a night drive

But you’re not staying the night

I’ll confuse you and it’s not right

If you think I’m the one, you thought wrong

Feelings are valid, but don’t let them get too strong

I drink you down like a substance

You know I need my sustenance

I’m like a poison

Soon you’ll find out I was an illusion

You know I’ll be gone

But you stick around when you should run

I only need company and all the fun

Not meeting your family or calling you hun

Running through your veins, taking over

Don’t wait around hoping I’ll be your lover

This fire is only pretty from afar

But if you expect warmth you won’t get so far

Don’t take it personal, it’s not you, it’s everyone

With closeness and bonds, I’m simply done

What doesn’t kill you still makes you cry

I’m only here to enjoy the high

I’m too selfish to choose you

I love me more than you

I’ll only show you destruction

Till you’re too messed up to function

Fire is seductive but dangerous, make a turn

Because if you come closer, you’ll only feel the burn.
