Invincible
The Icarus Account Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know how long I can take this
Pretending there's nothing wrong here
When clearly we're falling apart
And shattered we're falling apart

To think that we were invincible
That we would become unbreakable
Who are we who are we

I can barely remember
How perfect we were together
Unbelieving that this would ever be hard
But shattered we're falling apart
And somehow we'll pick up the parts

To think that we were invincible
That we would become unbreakable
Who are we who are we
If what doesn't break us makes us stronger
We could lose our fears in these promises
Who are we who are we

I know that things have changed
But who's to say that things couldn't be or shouldn't be this way
These fights push us away
Oh but I swear to you it's worth all the pain
I wanna hear you say
Say you need me like it used to be




I know that things have changed
But that won't change the way that you've changed me
