Islands

Don’t you come back
Here asking me why
I’ve spent nights
Bleeding myself dry
I’m fighting beasts
I’m climbing trees and towers
I’m whole alive and breathing
That’s what matters
I want to hold you
But my body’s moving away
Gotta let you go, oh
But when I do my mind just keeps on
Finding a way to you, again
Self-control won’t help me so
Don’t come running back
Empty hands, knees to the ground
Better watch me pray
That I won’t give my honesty away
'Cause when I say «be gone»
My stubborn tongue is faking
My heart won’t echo sounds
My mouth is making
And I want to hold you
But my body’s moving away
Gotta let you go, oh
But when I do my mind just keeps on
Finding a way to you, again
Self-control won’t help me so
Don’t come running back
