[Verse 1]
I tried to be an island
Yeah, I know, I know, I know
I tried to be a modern man
I know, I know, I know
I tried to be a picket fence
I broke, I broke, I broke
I wonder where my courage went
I broke, I broke, I broke
[Pre-Chorus]
How toothless of me to think I could learn to wait
Oh, I know
Oh
[Chorus]
Why am I so destitute
When I'm holding out for a soul? Oh
I deal in absolutes
When I try to take control
Truth be told
[Verse 2]
I try to be more common sense
I know, I know, I know
A portrait of my elegance
I know, I know, I know
I whisper something dеlicate
I broke, I broke
[Pre-Chorus]
How ruthlеss of me to think I can stand the chase
Oh
How foolish of me to think I can change my shape
Oh, I know
Oh
[Chorus]
I am so destitute
When I'm holding out for a soul, oh
I deal in absolutes
When I try to take control
Truth be told
[Verse 3]
And the crisis of me
My identity in blood
How spineless of me to think
I don't have the guts
I won't be toothless and I'll finally be enough, oh
I know, oh
[Chorus]
I am so destitute
When I'm holding out for a soul, oh
I deal in absolutes
When I try to take control, oh
My body follows through
When the winter gets so cold
Truth be told
[Outro]
Truth be told
Truth be told
Truth be told
I tried to be an island
Yeah, I know, I know, I know
I tried to be a modern man
I know, I know, I know
I tried to be a picket fence
I broke, I broke, I broke
I wonder where my courage went
I broke, I broke, I broke
[Pre-Chorus]
How toothless of me to think I could learn to wait
Oh, I know
Oh
[Chorus]
Why am I so destitute
When I'm holding out for a soul? Oh
I deal in absolutes
When I try to take control
Truth be told
[Verse 2]
I try to be more common sense
I know, I know, I know
A portrait of my elegance
I know, I know, I know
I whisper something dеlicate
I broke, I broke
[Pre-Chorus]
How ruthlеss of me to think I can stand the chase
Oh
How foolish of me to think I can change my shape
Oh, I know
Oh
[Chorus]
I am so destitute
When I'm holding out for a soul, oh
I deal in absolutes
When I try to take control
Truth be told
[Verse 3]
And the crisis of me
My identity in blood
How spineless of me to think
I don't have the guts
I won't be toothless and I'll finally be enough, oh
I know, oh
[Chorus]
I am so destitute
When I'm holding out for a soul, oh
I deal in absolutes
When I try to take control, oh
My body follows through
When the winter gets so cold
Truth be told
[Outro]
Truth be told
Truth be told
Truth be told
