Islands

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
