Icarus

Icarus

Never Again

Never again
Will I be the means
Used to deal my love
an injury
 
Never again
Will I leaps I far
Without looking to see
Who is leaping after me
 
Never again
Will I be so selfish
To overlook
how much damage I can do
 
Never again
Will I ever
Hurt someone as
wonderful as you
