Smithereens
I saw your picture
It made me sorry
For all the things I never said
It seems that you have cause to worry
It seems that you don't wish me well
Behind the victim
Behind the trouble
Are all the things you've not expressed
I see you standing behind your mother
I see you hiding behind her dress
So don't make me sad
I couldn't stand to watch you fall
'Cause everybody has a tender heart
Remember this
I didn't mean to break it down to smithereens
Woah, yeah
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
I heard you crying
I learned the story
I saw the shadows behind the past
They fall behind you and creep up slowly
You're only human behind the mask
So don't take me down
I couldn't stand to watch you fall
'Cause everybody has a broken heart
Remember this
I couldn't stand to break it down to smithereens
Woah, yeah
And you say everybody is an island of their own
And you say everybody has a tender heart
Remember this
I couldn't bear to break it down to smithereens
Woah, yeah
Woah, yeah
Woah, yeah
I didn't mean to break it down, oh
I didn't mean to smithereens, oh
I didn't mean to break it down, yeah
I didn't make the smithereens, oh
Everybody is an island to themselves, don't you know
Everybody is an island to themselves, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everybody is an island to themselves, don't you know
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
It made me sorry
For all the things I never said
It seems that you have cause to worry
It seems that you don't wish me well
Behind the victim
Behind the trouble
Are all the things you've not expressed
I see you standing behind your mother
I see you hiding behind her dress
So don't make me sad
I couldn't stand to watch you fall
'Cause everybody has a tender heart
Remember this
I didn't mean to break it down to smithereens
Woah, yeah
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
I heard you crying
I learned the story
I saw the shadows behind the past
They fall behind you and creep up slowly
You're only human behind the mask
So don't take me down
I couldn't stand to watch you fall
'Cause everybody has a broken heart
Remember this
I couldn't stand to break it down to smithereens
Woah, yeah
And you say everybody is an island of their own
And you say everybody has a tender heart
Remember this
I couldn't bear to break it down to smithereens
Woah, yeah
Woah, yeah
Woah, yeah
I didn't mean to break it down, oh
I didn't mean to smithereens, oh
I didn't mean to break it down, yeah
I didn't make the smithereens, oh
Everybody is an island to themselves, don't you know
Everybody is an island to themselves, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everybody is an island to themselves, don't you know
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
