All my dreams are just some fragile things 00:02

They're paper wings, and I don't think they'll carry my weight 00:06

'Cause I've been falling for days 00:10

To the sea, to the sea, yeah 00:13

Tried to breathe, but I've been drowning in waves 00:17

Of jealousy, and anyone could see that I'm lost 00:21

Through those seas I've been tossed 00:25

And I'm not free, I'm not free, yeah 00:28

So I open my eyes, and I fall through the sky 00:32

While the day turns to night 00:36

I will burn for my love 00:39

Flown too close to the sun 00:43

Falling like Icarus 00:47

Now the damage is done 00:51

I have burned for my love 00:54

Woke again, woke again 00:56

Now I have my eyes on 00:58

Woke again, woke again 01:00

Now I have my eyes on 01:02

Woke again, woke again 01:04

Now I have my eyes on 01:07

Woke again, woke again 01:09

Now I have my eyes on 01:11

I'm on the ground, and if you ask why I don't 01:28

Come around, it's because I can't bear the weight 01:32

And I guess I'm afraid 01:36

Of going down, going down, down 01:39

And you erased a silhouette of me and I won't 01:43

Leave a trace, I don't know how far I can fall 01:47

'Til there's nothing at all 01:52

But your face, your face, yeah 01:55

So I open my eyes, and I fall through the sky 01:59

While the day turns to night 02:02

I will burn for my love 02:06

Flown too close to the sun 02:09

Falling like Icarus 02:13

Now the damage is done 02:17

I have burned for my love 02:21

Woke again, woke again 02:22

Now I have my eyes on 02:25

Woke again, woke again 02:27

Now I have my eyes on 02:29

Woke again, woke again 02:31

Now I have my eyes on 02:33

Woke again, woke again 02:35

Now I have my eyes on 02:37

Woke again, woke again 02:39

Now I have my eyes on 02:41

Woke again, woke again 02:43

Now I have my eyes on 02:46

Woke again, woke again 02:48

Now I have my eyes on 02:50

Woke again, woke again 02:52

Now I have my eyes on 02:54

Woke again, woke again 02:58

Now I have my eyes on 03:00

Woke again, woke again 03:02

Now I have my eyes on 03:04

Woke again, woke again 03:06

Now I have my eyes on 03:08

Woke again, woke again 03:10

Now I have my eyes on 03:13

[English]

All my dreams are just some fragile things
They're paper wings, and I don't think they'll carry my weight
'Cause I've been falling for days
To the sea, to the sea, yeah
Tried to breathe, but I've been drowning in waves
Of jealousy, and anyone could see that I'm lost
Through those seas I've been tossed
And I'm not free, I'm not free, yeah
So I open my eyes, and I fall through the sky
While the day turns to night
I will burn for my love
Flown too close to the sun
Falling like Icarus
Now the damage is done
I have burned for my love
Woke again, woke again
Now I have my eyes on
Woke again, woke again
Now I have my eyes on
Woke again, woke again
Now I have my eyes on
Woke again, woke again
Now I have my eyes on
I'm on the ground, and if you ask why I don't
Come around, it's because I can't bear the weight
And I guess I'm afraid
Of going down, going down, down
And you erased a silhouette of me and I won't
Leave a trace, I don't know how far I can fall
'Til there's nothing at all
But your face, your face, yeah
So I open my eyes, and I fall through the sky
While the day turns to night
I will burn for my love
Flown too close to the sun
Falling like Icarus
Now the damage is done
I have burned for my love
Woke again, woke again
Now I have my eyes on
Woke again, woke again
Now I have my eyes on
Woke again, woke again
Now I have my eyes on
Woke again, woke again
Now I have my eyes on
Woke again, woke again
Now I have my eyes on
Woke again, woke again
Now I have my eyes on
Woke again, woke again
Now I have my eyes on
Woke again, woke again
Now I have my eyes on
Woke again, woke again
Now I have my eyes on
Woke again, woke again
Now I have my eyes on
Woke again, woke again
Now I have my eyes on
Woke again, woke again
Now I have my eyes on
