Tempting Fate lyrics - Beth Crowley

 You could have anyone you want

You know it's true

People will fall over themselves

To get to you

And there's not a soul who understands

Why you chose me

But they don't have to

I have been perfectly content

Watching from the wings

As you become the legend you

Aspire to be

I've warned you the power that you crave

Comes at a price

But you won't hear me

Why are you tempting fate?

I see the way you've changed

Into someone I don't recognize

A stranger I have to walk behind

Pride goes before the fall

You're going to lose it all

If you let the precious time we borrowed

Slip away

Because you're tempting fate

You are so vividly alive

I often think

The sun must be jealous that

You burn more beautifully

Sometimes I wish I could keep your light

All to myself

But you'd resent me

Why are you tempting fate?

I see the way you've changed

Into someone I don't recognize

A stranger I have to walk behind

Pride goes before the fall

You're going to lose it all

If you let the precious time we borrowed

Slip away

Because you're tempting fate

If you don't live

To see your glory

But your name will be

In all the stories

Does that make leaving me

Worth leaving your legacy?

Does that make leaving me

Worth leaving your legacy?

Why are you tempting fate?

I see the way you've changed

Into someone I don't recognize

A stranger I have to walk behind

Pride goes before the fall

You're going to lose it all

If you let the precious time we borrowed

Slip away

Because you're tempting fate
