And I like 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 wanna stay, for a while?
Cause I could use someone like you around
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”
Well 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 your mine again
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 you said we’d be okay
And I’d die
I’d die when you’d 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
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”
Well 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 your mine again
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
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
It’s coming apart and I can’t face it
I don’t wanna break down but I can’t take it
It’s coming apart and I can’t face it
I don’t wanna break down but I can’t take it
It’s coming apart and I can’t face it
I don’t wanna break down but I can’t take it
It’s coming apart and I can’t face it
I don’t wanna break down but I can’t take it
