Icarus (Original Song by Arielle)

Here's a simple acoustic ballady-type song I wrote awhile ago called "Icarus". I will let it sing for itself instead of telling you all about it here, but I will say that I hope you enjoy it :)

Lyrics:
You lay me down just like a brick
You let me heal, you make me sick.
And I don't know why I want you so thick.
You rub the sleep there from your eyes,
You look at me, you see a child,
And I don't know how I thought you were so wise, when really

You took your games too far, kept your pride below your belt
You flew on your wings too high,
Well baby now your wings will melt.

And oh I know we had our season,
But oh I know I outgrew you, so you cut me down.

You let me see all you could do,
I never quite got used to you
Never knew myself to so well play the fool.
But the winds they change and people grow,
You tried to teach me what I know,
But I'll never understand just why you let go.

You took your games too far,
Kept your pride below your belt,
You flew on your wings too high,
But baby now your wings will melt.

And oh I know we had our reasons,
But oh I know I outflew you, so you shot me down.

You took your games too far,
Kept your pride up in the sky, you wouldn't let me pass you by,
You flew on your wings too high,
Well baby now I'm gonna melt, now I'm gonna melt.
There's nothing left to do but melt.
You've got me crying, oh I'll melt.
I'll never know you so I'll melt.
But, I guess, together we will melt.
Yeah, together we will melt.

I am waiting to buy this music, this girl is a genius. Anyone knows if we can buy it already at all in any way?

[aokay19]

@virmacreations Soon! In about two weeks!! I'll post about it!! :)

[ifinditamazing]

If your cd has this, Better, and Used to You on it, I will be a very happy girl. =]

[aokay19]

@ifinditamazing Aww! These songs actually aren't on my CD, but I may release them separately! The CD has a bit of a different feel to it, you really get to hear my style, whereas these songs are more acoustic, singersongwriter type songs. But I KNOW you'll like the CD as well, it's very different and 'me' :D

[giftoflistening]

Is there anyway I can buy like a CD of yours or something? Or take you out to dinner? Cos I think I might just be in love... And I think I might just be too young for you... So I think I might just want a CD. And also I think I might just already have a girlfriend as well. But Still. You're amazing.

[aokay19]

@giftoflistening Hahaha I'll keep you posted on that CD! Look out for updates, it'll be out in about two weeks! :)
