Smithereens

I saw your picture

It made me sorry

For all the things

I never said

It seems that you

Have cause to worry

It seems that you

Don't wish me well

Behind the victim

Behind the trouble

Are all the things

You've not expressed

I see you standing behind your mother

I see you hiding behind her dress

So don't make me sad

I couldn't stand to watch you fall

'cause everybody has a tender heart

Remember this

I didn't mean to break it down to smithereens

I heard you crying

I learned the story

I saw the shadows behind the past

They fall behind you

And creep up slowly

We're only human

Behind the mask

So don't take me down

I couldn't stand to watch you fall

'cause everybody has a broken heart

Remember this

I couldn't stand to break it down to smithereens

And you say

Everybody is an island of their own

And you say

Everybody has a tender heart

Remember this

I couldn't stand to break it down to smithereens

I didn't mean to break it down

I didn't mean to smithereens

Everybody is an island to themselves

Don't you know

Everybody is an island to themselves
