Forgotten all about the moth
That old fag had given me
Kept the cocoon safe and warm in my kitchen
Until the day that she broke free
But she would not leave me
I guess she thought I was...
I guess she thought I was her...
I guess she thought I was...
I guess she thought I was...

My love won't let her learn to fly
My heart won't let her say goodbye
If she don't leave me she will die
My heart won't let her learn to fly

She hung around outside for days
Even though she knew no cage
Kept her off the roof at night
Trying to keep her warm
I could not stand to let her go
And I could see her dying

I guess she thought I was...
I guess she thought I was her...
I guess she thought I was...
I guess she thought I was...

My love won't let her, learn to fly
My heart won't let her, say goodbye
If she don't leave me, she will die
My heart won't let her, learn to fly

Yeah, go on now and leave me
Go on now and leave me
Go on now and leave me
Go on now

Come on and say it
Come on and say my name before you leave me
I want to hear you say it one more time now
One more time again before you leave me

My love won't let her learn to fly
My heart won't let her say goodbye
If she don't leave me she will die
My heart won't let her learn to fly

My love will last until it dies
My love will last until it tries to leave me
