[Verse 1]
I was reaching for heFmaven, it became my oDbbsession
But I guEbess it was more like a curse and less like a bleBbmssin'
And It was perfect on pFmaper, but there weren't any lDbayers
And Ebhow can a kiss of an angel feel more like a straBbmnger?
[Pre-Chorus]
I try to taDbke it all away
TFmake it all away
But it Eball went up in flames
And BbmI fell hard like
[Chorus]
FmIcarus
I Dbgot to close to your heart and now I've turBbmned to dust
I dEbidn't know that your love could be so dangeFmrous
And aDbll your golden promises, they just tBbmurn to rust
And EbI got burned like IcaFmrusDb  
I got burned by your lFmoveDb  
[Verse 2]
Stop what you're sFmayin', I'm done with the sDbtayin'
You're Ebnot gonna pull me in, I'm finally awBbmaken
I finally see you for wFmho you are
And not the person I thouDbght you were
And Ebmaybe you just drop things to watch how they're breBbmakin'
[Pre-Chorus]
I try to taDbke it all away
TFmake it all away
But it Eball went up in flames
And BbmI fell hard like
[Chorus]
FmIcarus
I Dbgot to close to your heart and now I've turBbmned to dust
I dEbidn't know that your love could be so dangeFmrous
And aDbll your golden promises, they just tBbmurn to rust
And EbI got burned like IcaFmrusDb  
[Bridge]
FmGotta let go, gotta let go
Gonna waAbsh the poison off of me, oh oh
BbmI'ma let go, I'ma let go
CmWatch me as I'm flyin' away from your lovDbe
MEbmm, flyin' away from your lDboveCm  
[Chorus]
Like IFmcarus...
I Dbgot to close to your heart and now I've tuBbmrned to dust...
I dEbidn't know that your loEbve could be so daFmngerous
And aDbll your golden promises they just tBbmurn to rust
And EbI got burned like IFmcarus
DbI got burned by your loFmve
DbBurned like IFmcarus
DbI got burned by your loEbve
And I got burned like IFmcarus

I was reaching for heaven, it became my obsession

And how can a kiss of an angel feel more like a stranger?

And I fell hard like

Stop what you're sayin', I'm done with the stayin'

Eb Bbm

You're not gonna pull me in, I'm finally awaken

And maybe you just drop things to watch how they're breakin'

Take it all away

But it all went up in flames
