Oh you were just a fighter
Holding all the weight in your arms
And after all they told you
You knew you should flag the alarm
Lay them down easy now
This ain't meant for your eyes
Oh waiting's a game, I know

And ohh you're an island
You're bearing all the pain on your own
You can't seem, seem to find it
Not the same way that you thought you'd always know
Am I mistaken? Is this the life for you?
Maybe you just lost your mind
It's a war they once told you, I could not fight it
But you're strong enough, you'll be fine

It's playing on your mind
But you wouldn't change it for the world
It happens all the time, yeah
You wouldn't know what it is worth
So, lay them down easy now
This ain't meant for your eyes
Oh waiting's a game, I know

And ooh you're an island
You're bearing all the pain on your own
You can't seem, seem to find it
Not the same way that you thought you'd always know
Am I mistaken? Is this the life for you?
Maybe you just lost your mind
It's a war they once told you, I could not fight it
But you're strong enough, you'll be fine

You won't let it sink in
You're weary I don't think that's wrong
Now that you're losing your time
You, you're wearing within
I know it's all you have left
Push it out of your mind

And ooh you're an island
You're bearing all the pain on your own
You can't seem, seem to find it
Not the same way that you thought you'd always know
Am I mistaken? Is this the life for you?
Maybe you just lost your mind
It's a war they once told you, I could not fight it
But you're strong enough, you'll be fine
