Tempting Fate
You could have anyone you want, you know it's true
People will fall over themselves to get to you
And there's not a soul who understands why you chose me
But they don't have to
I have been perfectly content watching from the wings
As you become the legend, you aspire to be
I've warned you, the power that you crave comes at a price
But you won't hear me
Why are you tempting fate?
I see the way you've changed
Into someone I don't recognize
A stranger I have to walk behind
Pride goes before the fall
You're going to lose it all
If you let the precious time we borrowed slip away
Because you're tempting fate
You are so vividly alive, I often think
The sun must be jealous that you burn more beautifully
Sometimes I wish I could keep your light all to myself
But you'd resent me
Why are you tempting fate?
I see the way you've changed
Into someone, I don't recognize
A stranger I have to walk behind
Pride goes before the fall
You're going to lose it all
If you let the precious time we borrowed slip away
Because you're tempting fate
If you don't live to see your glory
But your name will be in all the stories
Does that make leaving me
Worth leaving your legacy?
Does that make leaving me
Worth leaving your legacy?
Why are you tempting fate?
I see the way you've changed
Into someone I don't recognize
A stranger I have to walk behind
Pride goes before the fall
You're going to lose it all
If you let the precious time we borrowed slip away
Because you're tempting fate
People will fall over themselves to get to you
And there's not a soul who understands why you chose me
But they don't have to
I have been perfectly content watching from the wings
As you become the legend, you aspire to be
I've warned you, the power that you crave comes at a price
But you won't hear me
Why are you tempting fate?
I see the way you've changed
Into someone I don't recognize
A stranger I have to walk behind
Pride goes before the fall
You're going to lose it all
If you let the precious time we borrowed slip away
Because you're tempting fate
You are so vividly alive, I often think
The sun must be jealous that you burn more beautifully
Sometimes I wish I could keep your light all to myself
But you'd resent me
Why are you tempting fate?
I see the way you've changed
Into someone, I don't recognize
A stranger I have to walk behind
Pride goes before the fall
You're going to lose it all
If you let the precious time we borrowed slip away
Because you're tempting fate
If you don't live to see your glory
But your name will be in all the stories
Does that make leaving me
Worth leaving your legacy?
Does that make leaving me
Worth leaving your legacy?
Why are you tempting fate?
I see the way you've changed
Into someone I don't recognize
A stranger I have to walk behind
Pride goes before the fall
You're going to lose it all
If you let the precious time we borrowed slip away
Because you're tempting fate
