Too hot,
Too bright,
Too light.
Keep it in your sight.
For it will run away.
Don't promise that you'll stay.
With your back against the sun,
Towards me you will run,
And all I want to do,
is fly fly away.
You ask for me,
but I refuse,
you always pursue,
nothing to lose.
You say you love me,
but I know it's not true.
So I turn away, just like you.
But it's hopeless and no fun,
With my back against the sun.

Lots of people look promising, but really aren't that way. And they'll turn you into something you don't believe in.
