I was reaching fo r heaven, it became my obsession
But I gu ess it was more like a curse and less like a ble ssin'
And It was perfect on p aper, but there weren't any l ayers
And how can a kiss of an angel feel more like a stra nger?
I try to ta ke it all away
Take it all away
But it all went up in flames
And I fell hard like
Icarus
I got to close to your heart and now I've tur ned to dust
I d idn't know that your love could be so dange rous
And a ll your golden promises, they just t urn to rust
And I got burned like Ica rus
I got burned by your l ove
Stop what you're s ayin', I'm done with the s tayin'
You're not gonna pull me in, I'm finally aw aken
I finally see you for w ho you are
And not the person I thou ght you were
And maybe you just drop things to watch how they're bre akin'
I try to ta ke it all away
Take it all away
But it all went up in flames
And I fell hard like
Icarus
I got to close to your heart and now I've tur ned to dust
I d idn't know that your love could be so dange rous
And a ll your golden promises, they just t urn to rust
And I got burned like Ica rus
Gotta let go, gotta let go
Gonna wa sh the poison off of me, oh oh
I'ma let go, I'ma let go
Watch me as I'm flyin' away from your lov e
Mmm, flyin' away from your love
Like I carus...
I got to close to your heart and now I've tu rned to dust...
I d idn't know that your lo ve could be so da ngerous
And a ll your golden promises they just t urn to rust
And I got burned like I carus
I got burned by your lo ve
Burned like I carus
I got burned by your lo ve
And I got burned like I carus
