Again I missed the mark in life
My aim was just a little right
Always just a step behind
And in the end my dreams were just illusions
My friends they're all the same as me
They want what cannot ever be
You're beaten down every day
I know you don't like it
You just got to keep on moving
And I'm falling down
I guess my wings got too close to the fire
I won't make a sound
I never should have tried to fly up higher
I tried so hard to grab that light
I laid it all out on the line
Now there’s nothing but ashes left
And in my heart this cold and empty feeling
So I walk on down that lonely road
Leaving behind all I’ve ever known
Except that memory of your face
The hatred in your eyes as I was leaving
And I'm falling down
I guess my wings got too close to the fire
I won't make a sound
I never should have tried to climb up higher
And I am gonna keep on walking
On down that lonely road
And I am gonna keep on walking
My head hanging low
And I'm falling down
I guess my wings got too close to the fire
I won't make a sound
I never should have tried to fly up higher
And I am gonna keep on walking
On down that lonely road
And I keep on walking
My head hanging low
