I kept to myself, stood apart 'til you came
You shone like the sun, put your spell on me
Took all I had, and I'll never be the same
I flew too close, now I'm burning in this misery
But I'll rise again like a Phoenix from these flames
Mend these old wings, all the damage you've done
Learn to live with myself and I'll forget your name
I'll fly once more, but never so close to the sun
You took me higher with every passing day
And I put my trust in your warm embrace
But you turned to fire and left me to fall away
I crashed to the ground abandoned to my fiery fate
Yeah, I'll rise again, like a Phoenix from these flames
Mend these old wings, all the damage you've done
Learn to live with myself and I'll forget your name
I'll fly once more, but never so close to the sun
I'll fly once more, but never too close to the sun
