Greek Tragedy

You were heroic Like a greek hero with a flaw You had that ego And my words meant nothing at all And no matter how hard I tried I could not reach you The pages of the play Were turning to soon But just like Icarus We flew too high to the sun And by the time we realized Our story was already done If only we had a bit more time And could go back to act one But our fate was already written out And unfortunately death had to come Rest in peace In the end We all end up in ruins Maybe we could've worked out If we weren't a greek tragedy Let's be honest I was dumb and foolish For trying to stay around And pretend that you cared for me It's hard to believe I was the antagonist in your eyes (Antagonist in your eyes) Cause I didn't lift you up All high in the sky And I tried rewrite us But I'm no William Shakespeare So our story went untouched And we just disappeared And just like Achilles An arrow shot our heel And the life we created Came crumbling down It all felt so surreal If only we had a different path And could go back to our happiest feel But there's nothing we can do now Our fate was already sealed In the end We all end up in ruins Maybe we could've worked out If we weren't a greek tragedy Let's be honest I was dumb and foolish For trying to stay around And pretend that you cared for me Oh, oh, oh (Mmm, mmm, mmm) Oh, greek tragedy Oh, greek tragedy Oh, greek tragedy (Ah, ah, ah) Our destiny was written There was no way of stopping it Everything was shaped From features to characteristics And it took me a long time To get that through my mind I had to change my perspective From the reader to the playwright
