Lyrics
0:18I saw your picture
0:21It made me sorry
0:24For all the things
0:28I never said
0:31It seems that you
0:35Have cause to worry
0:38It seems that you
0:40Don't wish me well
0:51Behind the victim
0:55Behind the trouble
0:57Are all the things
1:00You've not expressed
1:03I see you standing behind your mother
1:10I see you hiding behind her dress
1:23So don't make me sad
1:30I couldn't stand to watch you fall
1:36'Cause everybody has a tender heart
1:44Remember this
1:47I didn't mean to break it down to smithereens
2:09I heard you crying
2:12I learned the story
2:16I saw the shadows behind the past
2:21They fall behind you
2:24And creep up slowly
2:28We're only human
2:31Behind the mask
2:42So don't take me down
2:48I couldn't stand to watch you fall
2:54Cause everybody has a broken heart
3:02Remember this
3:04I couldn't stand to break it down to smithereens
3:10And you say
3:44Everybody is an island of their own
3:55And you say
3:57Everybody has a tender heart
4:03Remember this
4:07I couldn't stand to break it down to smithereens
4:17I didn't mean to break it down
4:23I didn't mean to smithereens
4:25Everybody is an island to themselves
4:46Don't you know
4:49Everybody is an island to themselves
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 I heard you crying I learned the story I saw the shadows behind the past They fall behind you And creep up slowly We'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 And you say Everybody is an island of their own And you say Everybody has a tender heart Remember this I couldn't stand to break it down to smithereens I didn't mean to break it down I didn't mean to smithereens Everybody is an island to themselves Don't you know Everybody is an island to themselves
