I Am Only an Island Songtext
von Therefore I Am

Still there is no end to closing in, so now I lean on you
Like my dear one with the wind
We were nothing but a moment, just a wish, little will
A piece of trash to pass on the road back home
And I alone am only an island, only a mark
Tall in the center of an ocean
Assumption that it′s you on the shores where we both grew
We built our love like castles in the sand
Your greedy hands, your greedy hands
Your tides, your lies, eroded everything
Well I don't want to burn the bridge
No, I want to burn the fucking town we built it in
So I can be reborn, that city I once adorned
With a clean slate, new life, new face
Blank book without a crease in the page


And once again, I feel trapped alongside all this trash
Shoved on Auburn Avenue
And as for you, you ain′t never drove me
You ain't never had much
Cause by now they're like the other boys
You′re the ones they used to call, yeah, fucking whore
We built our love like castles in the sand
Your greedy hands, your greedy hands
Your tides, your lies, eroded everything
I hope you know
We built our love like castles in the sand
Your greedy hands, your greedy hands
Your tides, your lies, eroded everything
I hope you know
I am done, done
