[Verse 1] I kept your name on my tongue Like a sugar I shouldn’t taste You walked in slow through my room And I lost my sense of place Your laugh was a paper crown Your eyes were a borrowed flame I called it heaven at first Now I know it had my name [Pre-Chorus] I reached up high You pulled me in I thought I found Where love begins [Chorus] Too close to the sun Too close to the sun I burned for your pretty face Too close to the sun Too close to the sun You were my fire, not my grace (too close to the sun) (too close to the sun) [Verse 2] I saw it in the morning light When the spell fell off your skin The magic was never yours It was the way I looked within You were just beauty passing through A mirror with a smiling mouth I made a throne from my own ache And watched it falling down [Pre-Chorus] I reached up high You pulled me in I thought I found Where love begins [Chorus] Too close to the sun Too close to the sun I burned for your pretty face Too close to the sun Too close to the sun You were my fire, not my grace (too close to the sun) (too close to the sun) [Bridge] Now I don’t curse your name I just see clear You were a spark in the dark And I was the one who leapt near I wore my heart on my sleeve Like it couldn’t fall apart But your beauty was only bright Because I lit it from my heart [Final Chorus] Too close to the sun Too close to the sun I burned for your pretty face Too close to the sun Too close to the sun You were my fire, not my grace Too close to the sun Too close to the sun I loved you into a shine Too close to the sun Too close to the sun And now I’m learning to be mine (too close to the sun) (too close to the sun)
