Islands.
[Verse 1]
And I liked when you turn the TV up so loud
I could lie here
Just lie here awake for hours
Beneath the static sound of everything crashing down
Don't you want to stay for a while
'Cause I could use someone like you around
[Pre Chorus]
She left his room when he lost his balance
And she didn’t move back in again when he found it
Said, "Is it too late to change? I love you"
And she said "You're an island, and it's not my fault
You're in denial"
But can we slip away when
Nobody's watching if I promise
We get back before they finish talking
The drinks you had went to your head and
You're mine again
[Chorus]
You're just someone else now
Trying to pretend
All those things you'd say in bed never mattered
But you know they did
You're just someone else now
I liked it when he said—
[Verse 2]
I liked it when he said we'd be okay
And I die
I die when you turn away
And I don't know what to say when my brother asks
Is it his?
Is it hers?
Are we moving house?
So I arrive home at 4 and I fall through the door
And I'll get up and go in the cabinet for more
If it's too hard to hear then just pretend you didn't
Or that you don't recall 'cause you had a few drinks in you
[Pre Chorus]
She left his room when he lost his balance
And she didn't move back in again when he found it
Said, "Is it too late to change? To love me"
And she said "You're an island, and it's not my fault
You're in denial"
But can we slip away when
Nobody's watching if I promise
We get back before they finish talking
The drinks you had went to your head and
You're mine again
[Chorus]
You're just someone else now
Trying to pretend
All those things you'd say in bed never mattered
But you know they did
You're an island
I liked it when he said—
[Bridge]
You learned to live out on the wrong side of the tracks
You're an island
And I can't stay here on my own
I can't be like this
I learned to kneel in this house
I learned not to mind it
But I can't stay
Stay
[Outro]
It's coming apart and I can't face it
I don't want to break down but I can't take it
It's coming apart and I can't face it
I don't want to break down but I can't take it
It's coming apart and I can't face it
I don't want to break down but I can't take it
It's coming apart and I can't face it
I don't want to break down but I can't take it
