I flew too close to the sun
Fell back to Earth like a stone
(Should've known, should've known, should've known)
I got too high on myself
Too young and stupid to tell
(Should've known, should've known)

I was bound to make a mess of things
Mixing fireworks and gasoline
Never meant to make you fall with me

I let you down
I've been clumsy with your heart again
I guess you figured me out
Now here's a taste of my own medicine
(I let you down)

Caught at the end of a lifeline
The catch of a lifetime
(Should've known, should've known, should've known)
Oh, we were destined for danger
Familiar strangers
(Should've known, should've known)

We were bound to make a mess of things
Mixing fireworks and gasoline
Never meant to make you fall with me

I let you down
I've been clumsy with your heart again
I guess you figured me out
Now here's a taste of my own medicine
And for all this pain that I can't explain
There's a black flag waving tonight
You know I let you down
I've been clumsy with your heart again

Turned the desert all to glass
Dropping bombs on future's past
Nothing left for us, shadows dancing in the ash
Turned the desert all to glass
Dropping bombs on future's past
Nothing left for us, shadows dancing in the ash
Turned the desert all to glass
Dropping bombs on future's past
Nothing left for us, shadows dancing in the ash
Turned the desert all to glass
Dropping bombs on future's past
Nothing left

I let you down
I've been clumsy with your heart again
I guess you figured me out
Now here's a taste of my own medicine
And for all this pain that I can't explain
There's a black flag waving tonight
You know I let you down (I let you down)
I've been clumsy with your heart again

Turned the desert all to glass
Dropping bombs on future's past
Nothing left for us, shadows dancing in the ash
Turned the desert all to glass
Dropping bombs on future's past
Nothing left for us, shadows dancing in the ash
