Island Lyrics

I have learned that conformation

Is invisible

‘cause it feels worse than it did

Before

And now instead of having someone’s side

To stand on

I am stuck on my own island

Alone

Alone

Alone.

So what’s to do

When you can’t prove the truth

When all you have is the empty bed

Where you lie

And loneliness will never tell you why

What you did was right

Right.

Is there a rule that you must lose

Before you get to some place good

Perhaps I should have kept my mouth shut.

I try so hard not to believe

The person that you see in me

But I don’t know what else to think

And shouldn’t it feel better

Once you’ve done what’s truly best

Well I’m unable to detect

So what’s to do

When you can’t prove the truth

When all you have is the empty bed

Where you lie

And loneliness will never tell you why

What you did was right

Right.

Evidence in context

Hiding in what I thought

Seemed better in my head

And there I saw it spark

In Technicolor wonder

Sooner or later

And you may never be sure when

But I can only hope it will be

Worth it in the end

Getting away from love

And a lifetime

All that it took to get me to you

I’m spending my days

Asleep on my island

I cannot regret what I had

To do

To do

So what’s to do

When you can’t prove the truth

When all you have is the empty bed

Where you lie

And loneliness will never tell you why

What you did was right

Right

Right
