Like Icarus

Do you really look so different Has my own perspective changed? It seems so long, it's only half a year But my whole life's rearranged I thought that I would remember you Thought I'd never lose your smile I guess I've lost those memories And it sure has been a while Maybe I've always been afraid Like Icarus I'd get too close And my waxen wings would melt Causing heartache, I suppose When I saw you there was nothing Nothing noticed, nothing felt Maybe as always I was holding back So afraid my wings might melt The question hidden in your eyes Are the same old feelings there? The honest truth, it's so sad to say Is that I don't really care Maybe I've always been afraid Like Icarus I'd get too close And my waxen wings would melt Causing heartache, I suppose I watch the river going by my door As it whispers of my fate When the time comes for me to jump in You know I won't hesitate Now I'm in control 'Cause I finally have let go Watching the world going spinning by It's an entertaining show Maybe I've always been afraid Like Icarus I'd get too close And my waxen wings would melt Causing heartache, I suppose Maybe I've always been afraid Like Icarus I'd get too close And my waxen wings would melt Causing heartache, I suppose
