Lyrics Achilles Heel by J. Maya

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
