[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus | Verse 2 lyrics on the background]
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, these holes in our hearts, they won't go away
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus | Verse 2 lyrics on the background]
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, these holes in our hearts, they won't go away
