Icarus

Icarus

I know you... Still

I know
That you still feel
The same as I do
I know
That it can only
Hurt you
I know
Your passionate heart
Too well
I know
They’d tear you apart
If you followed your
Heart
I know
I can only do you harm
And so I stand alone
Just outside
your world
Even though I know
Even this still kills
