Icarus and the Sun Lyrics by Cali Mesa

2023

You burned so bright it hurt my eyes
When you grew up i almost cried
We’re not the same people anymore
Tried to keep you satisfied
I crossed my heart and hoped to die
I didn’t know that you were keeping score
But then you vanished
Guess you couldn’t handle all my damage
Got too close and you just couldn’t stand it
But baby, you are not the only one
Who’d end up burned
I swear to god i never fucking learn
So tell me what the hell i did to earn this
Catastrophic еnding that you’ve spun
When you fell from mе
You made it look like fun
The love story of icarus and the sun
Should have known it all along
Our love was fragile like a bomb
And i just couldn’t see through the debris
Gave my all to vacant stares
Expected love that wasn’t there
Your cold shoulder always felt warm to me
And then you vanished
Guess you couldn’t handle all my damage
Got too close and you just couldn’t stand it
But baby, you are not the only one
Who’d end up burned
I swear to god i never fucking learn
So tell me what the hell i did to earn this
Catastrophic ending that you’ve spun
When you fell from me
You made it look like fun
The love story of icarus and the sun
Don’t call me, don’t write me
It’s just gonna fuck with my anxiety
Don’t kiss me, don’t you say you miss me
The words on your tongue
Taste like bottom shelf whiskey
And maybe i loved you when i was 19
Sometimes love is a nightmare
You thought was a dream
And i broke my own heart
Cause i knew that you’d leave
But you took it and ripped it
Right off of my sleeve
They warned me about men like you
In mythology
But i never got as much as an apology
Said that you would die for me
But all you did was lie to me
You’ll never be a god
But you’re always gonna try to be
Feel the burn on your skin
When you fall down screaming “you win”
And you feel the burn on your skin
When you fall down screaming “you win”
And you feel the burn on your skin
When you fall down screaming “you win”
