Wax Wings

I tried to warn you the day this began
I'm broken inside, yeah, I'm half of a man
But I'm doing my best
The best that I can
I made it clear from the day that we met
That I overthink every word, every breath
So just know that I mean
Every word that I've said

I know that I will, but how short will I fall?
Well, I hope that you give me a lifetime to prove myself wrong

I put you on a pedestal
But you just keep rising
Amber in the sky
You're an endless horizon
And I've got these wax wings that ain't made for flying
If you let me, I'll keep climbing
Till the seams of the world come apart
If I'm lucky
I know where I'll be
Up there with you in the stars

I know that I will, but how short will I fall?
Well, I hope that you give me a lifetime to prove myself wrong

'Cause I'm just a man
With two shaky hands
Convinced that you're better alone
But I hope that you give me a lifetime to prove myself wrong

Don't have much to my name but I'll spend every day
Just going wherever you want to go
When your brown turns to grey
And my mind starts to fade
You'll be the last memory I'll hold

I know that I will, but how short will I fall?
Well, I hope that you give me a lifetime to prove myself wrong

'Cause I'm just a man
With two shaky hands
Convinced that you're better alone
But I hope that you give me a lifetime to prove myself wrong
