Lyrics

VERSE 1
Are you drinking red wine in the dark?
It’s a stark shift from Brookline streets
Though I should have known that you would lose the spark
Chasing who you are and who you’d never meet

VERSE 2
Your quirks seemed so endearing
Saw you as a poor man’s raconteur
You’re claiming good intentions, feigning well
You’re a rich girl with delusions of grandeur

CHORUS 1
Thought you were Icarus, poisoned by tenderness
A façade of weakness, a veneer of distress
Thought you were Icarus, poisoned by tenderness
You’re a stranger I once knew

BRIDGE (Instrumental or Spoken Section Placeholder – if applicable)

VERSE 3
I’ve mapped the stars between us
I see your light but feel us pulled apart
What’s left of you is fading slow like midnight
I watched you burn, burn from far below

CHORUS 2 (Same as Chorus 1 – Repeat)
Thought you were Icarus, poisoned by tenderness
A façade of weakness, a veneer of distress
Thought you were Icarus, poisoned by tenderness
You’re a stranger I once knew

CHORUS 3 (Variation)
Thought you were Icarus, poisoned by tenderness
A façade of weakness, a veneer of distress
Can I say I’m glad not knowing you?
Can I say I’m glad not knowing you?
