Island
I'm not just a girl, and I won't stay inside
All the things that I've seen won't make me run and hide
But all I hear, oh, all I hear
Is I should be alone, yeah, I should live in fear
It's so hard to trust, so I shouldn't try
I need to build some walls if I don't want to cry
Don't rely on people in this town
Yeah, they'll break your heart, yeah, they'll let you down
They say, "You should be an island"
And I say, "Will that make me happy?"
They say, "You should be an island"
And I say, "Why do I feel empty?"
Whoa, whoa
Well, I can't live alone, I can't live in fear
We can all be loved on this spinning sphere
If we all get hurt and run away
Well, these holes in our hearts, they won't go away
They say, "You should be an island"
And I say, "Will that make me happy?"
They say, "You should be an island"
And I say, "Why do I feel empty?"
Whoa, whoa
Well, I can't live alone (They say)
I can't live in fear ("You should be an island")
We can all be loved on this spinning sphere (And I say)
If we all get hurt and run away ("Will that make me happy?")
Well, these holes in our hearts, they won't go away
Well, I can't live alone (They say)
I can't live in fear ("You should be an island")
We can all be loved on this spinning sphere (And I say)
If we all get hurt and run away
Well, these holes in our hearts ("Why do I feel empty?")
They won't go away
Well, I can't live alone
I can't live in fear (Whoa...)
We can all be loved on this spinning sphere (Whoa...)
If we all get hurt and run away
Well, these holes in our hearts, they won't go away
All the things that I've seen won't make me run and hide
But all I hear, oh, all I hear
Is I should be alone, yeah, I should live in fear
It's so hard to trust, so I shouldn't try
I need to build some walls if I don't want to cry
Don't rely on people in this town
Yeah, they'll break your heart, yeah, they'll let you down
They say, "You should be an island"
And I say, "Will that make me happy?"
They say, "You should be an island"
And I say, "Why do I feel empty?"
Whoa, whoa
Well, I can't live alone, I can't live in fear
We can all be loved on this spinning sphere
If we all get hurt and run away
Well, these holes in our hearts, they won't go away
They say, "You should be an island"
And I say, "Will that make me happy?"
They say, "You should be an island"
And I say, "Why do I feel empty?"
Whoa, whoa
Well, I can't live alone (They say)
I can't live in fear ("You should be an island")
We can all be loved on this spinning sphere (And I say)
If we all get hurt and run away ("Will that make me happy?")
Well, these holes in our hearts, they won't go away
Well, I can't live alone (They say)
I can't live in fear ("You should be an island")
We can all be loved on this spinning sphere (And I say)
If we all get hurt and run away
Well, these holes in our hearts ("Why do I feel empty?")
They won't go away
Well, I can't live alone
I can't live in fear (Whoa...)
We can all be loved on this spinning sphere (Whoa...)
If we all get hurt and run away
Well, these holes in our hearts, they won't go away
