Island Lyrics

I built myself an island

Right in the middle of our home

A place that I could run to

For whenever I felt alone

I just wanted some peace

I just wanted some consolation

I built these walls for safety

Now they're breaking me down

Love can't survive on an island

Like a castaway

A heart only dies on an island

I need an escape

The signal fire's burning out

And I'm forgetting how

I got here in the first place

Love can't survive on an island

I know that it was selfish

To think I could carry it all

That it didn't really matter

That I had nobody to call

Now I'm crying out

I'm singing like a siren

And the water keeps rising

Higher and higher

Love can't survive on an island

Like a castaway

A heart only dies on an island

I need an escape

The signal fire's burning out

And I'm forgetting how

I got here in the first place

Love can't survive on an island

Love can't survive on an island

A heart only dies on an island

Love can't survive on an island

Like a castaway

A heart only dies on an island

I need an escape

The signal fire's burning out

And I'm forgetting how

I got here in the first place

Love can't survive on an island
