Burning bright shining through
I dimmed my light to be with you
Your feathers formed wings
Bound together with make shift glue
You see Icarus I loved you
And you loved me too
But we were never meant to be
How could you stay close,
Without burning?
How could you be with me,
Without losing your wings?
And how could I be me,
Without ruining you?
Or serve my purpose,
Without hurting you?
But the closer you got
Your feathers began to drop
Sending you miles down
And me wishing I was anything but the Sun
Neither of us deserve that.
So now you fly through cloudy skies
While I hide behind my veil
Peeping once in awhile to see you my love
For that is all I need
