Did he fail when he fell, that Icarus we know so well?
I think credit's owed where credit's due. We all forget: he also flew
When love comes to an end, how people love to weigh in
They tally all the faults and total scores, but they don't know our love meant more
Loving you was an early morning, watching the sunrise turn to day
Holding the covers up 'til the moment they all were pulled away
Like catching the last rays of a sunset on a cool summer's night
Knowing the stars can't always shine so bright - shine so bright
Did he fail when he fell, that Icarus we know so well?
I think credit's owed where credit's due. We all forget: he also flew
Loving you 'til the early morning, watching the sunrise turn to day
Holding you closer up 'til the moment you turned and pulled away
Loving you was learning to fly on wings of feathers and of wax
Soaring sky-high with nothing else worth looking back to
Did we fail when we fell from a love we knew so well?
I think credit's owed where credit's due
Please don't forget: we also flew
Would you think back on our time gladly?
Anything worth doing at all's worth doing badly
