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
|
