I wish there was someone to blame
So it wouldn't seem so damn insane
The way I let that girl pull me away.
I went just like a moth to the flame

She knew that my heart was untamed
And she liked the idea of a game
With the love my heart could not contain
And It was just burned like a moth in her flame

Oh no

Don't it feel so alone

When you wake up and you realize

Oh no,

You couldn't have known

That she never felt the same way

Just like that poor moth felt the flame.

What's left when your empty heart cries
When you find that she filled it with lies
It's too bad she can't share in the pain
You're just a poor moth in her flame.

Perhaps she just evened a score

With someone who burned her before

Now every man's taking the blame

She's gonna burn them like a moth in that flame

Oh no

Don't it feel so alone

When you wake up and you realize

Oh no,

There was someone you know

Who thought that you felt the same way

And she was burned just like a moth in your flame.

Would someone please end all these games
And stop making the next person pay
For the pain of her past will say
Lead your heart just like a moth to the flame
