Islands
modernlove. Lyrics

And I like when
You turn the TV up so loud
I could lie here
Just lie here awake for hours
Beneath the static sound of
Everything crashing down
Don't you wanna stay, for a while?
Cause I could use someone like you around

She left his room when he lost his balance and She didn't move back in again when he found it
Said is it too late to change? I love you
And she said
You're an island
And it's not my fault
You're in denial
Well can we slip away when nobody's watching if I promise we get back before they finish talking
The drinks you had went to your head and your mine again

You're just someone else now
Trying to pretend
All those things you'd say in bed
Never mattered but you know they did
You're just someone else now

I liked it when you said we'd be okay
And I'd die
I'd die when you'd turn away
And I don't know what to say when my brother asks
Is it his? Is it hers? Are we moving house?
So I arrive home at 4 and I fall through the door
And I'll get up and go in the cabinet for more

If it's too hard to hear then just pretend you didn't
Or that you don't recall cause you
Had a few drinks in you

She left his room when he lost his balance and
She didn't move back in again when he found it
Said is it too late to change? To love me?
And she said
You're an island
And it's not my fault
You're in denial
Well can we slip away when nobody's watching if I promise we get back before they finish talking
The drinks you had went to your head and your mine again

You're just someone else now
Trying to pretend
All those things you'd say in bed
Never mattered but you know they did
You're an island

You learned to live out on the wrong side of the tracks
You're an island
And I can't stay here on my own
I can't be like this
I learned to kneel in this house
I learned not to mind it
But I can't stay
Stay

It's coming apart and I can't face it
I don't wanna break down but I can't take it

It's coming apart and I can't face it
I don't wanna break down but I can't take it

It's coming apart and I can't face it
I don't wanna break down but I can't take it

It's coming apart and I can't face it
I don't wanna break down but I can't take it
