There was never anything you could say to me
To make step back and try to see
I never really cared if it caused you pain
There was only one way that I was gonna be

I thought we're only having fun
I thought we found a place to run
Until she told me:
Don't fly too close to the sun
There once was a man who succumbed
And he burned his wings
And just like him you'll come down
You'll come crashing down

There were rarely ever times I'd get it right
Be better for you if I was outta sight
I'd never walk away, I would never shy
I never knew how much would be too high

I thought we're only having fun
I thought we found a place to run
Until she told me:
Don't fly too close to the sun
There once was a man who succumbed
And he burned his wings
And just like him you'll come down
You'll come crashing down
You'll come crashing down

Oh, I almost came down, oh, I almost fell apart
Oh, I almost came down, oh, I almost fell apart
Oh, I almost came down, oh, I almost fell apart
Oh, I almost came down, oh, I almost fell apart

Until she...
Until she told me:
Don't fly too close to the sun
There once was a man who succumbed
(You'll come crashing down)
Don't fly too close to the sun
(You'll come crashing down)
There once was a man who succumbed
(You'll come crashing down)
Don't fly too close to the sun
(You'll come crashing down)
There once was a man who succumbed
You'll come crashing down
