J. Maya - Achilles Heel lyrics

[J. Maya - Achilles Heel lyrics]

I swear on my life and the River Styx
I never thought it'd be you I'd miss
Now I'm dangling by the ankle somewhere cold

Like Sisyphus pushing that rock uphill
Or Echo falling for a daffodil
You lured me like a siren to the shore

Now I can't keep this love
'Cause it always hurts too much
I keep crumbling, I keep stumbling
'Cause you've become my crutch

Loving you's my Achilles' heel
Drop my guard when you're with me
I can't deal i just hate when I walk
On these pins and needles
I want to kill this Achilles' heel

You said you wanted me, no strings attached
I guess I have the Fates to thank for that
Call me Icarus 'Cause baby, you're my sun

But now I'm turning to stone
Looking in your eyes 'Cause you love hard
Kore only half the time
Athena'd be jealous of the web you spun

Like Atlas held too much
I feel crushed under this love
'Cause with those nectar lips
And ambrosia hips
Boy, you've become my drug

Loving you's my Achilles' heel
Drop my guard when you're with me
I can't deal i just hate when I walk
On these pins and needles
I want to kill this Achilles' heel

Mm, mm, kill this Achilles' heel
Don't wanna have to heal
Achilles, Achilles' Heel
I don't want to have to heal

Now it's time to bring the choir
Play your game and string the lyre
Boy, I'm like Prometheus
Finally taking back my fire

Your horse is in the gate again
But this time I won't let it in
I'm closing that Pandora's Box
Escaping from this labyrinth

No more looking back like Orpheus
Labor like I'm Heracles
You're losing your golden touch
I'll end this part like my name's Paris

Loving you's my Achilles' heel
Drop my guard when you're with me
I can't deal i just hate when I walk
On these pins and needles
I want to kill this Achilles' heel

Mm, mm, kill this Achilles' heel
Don't wanna have to heal
Achilles, Achilles' Heel
I don't want to have to heal
