I was reaching for heaven

It became my obsession

But I guess it was more like a curse and less like a blessin'

And It was perfect on paper

But there weren't any layers

And how can a kiss of an angel feel more like a stranger?



[Pre-Chorus]

I try to take it all away

Take it all away

But it all went up in flames

And I fell hard like



[Chorus]

Icarus

I got to close to your heart and now I've turned to dust

I didn't know that your love could be so dangerous

And all your golden promises they just turn to rust

And I got burned like Icarus

I got burned by your love
