Too Close To the Sun

Your eyes took in mine and seemed to invite
And I waxed up my wings, so I could take flight
Too eager to wear what could never fit
Too quick to embrace and too slow to admit

It's time to come down, I hear what you say
You're just being kind, when you ask me to stay
I'll admit insecurity compels me to run
I don't want to fly this close to the sun

The words of a sage, they prodded me on
My doubts and my fears, I've kept them at bay
When confidence climbs, seems nothing goes wrong
But truth will shape words, when there's more left to say

It's time to come down before I melt away
I want to believe, when you ask me to stay
I'm through fooling myself into thinking I've won
I can't really fly this close to the sun

Your faith in me wanes, though you try to pretend
We'll continue to soar and this won't ever end
I've been dazed standing under the glare of your charm
You've been much more than kind, you've meant me no harm

It's time to come down and soon I'll fade away
We both know the reasons you ask me to stay
I don't want your pity when it's all said and done
I can't really fly this close to the sun
