GThey say no man is an island
CThats all I hear from my old Gfriends
They say I should forget you
And Clearn to love Dagain
But GI don't need nobody

And I don't want nobody else
DIf I can't have Gyou.
GI am an Cisland, I just Amwant to be Galone
Time means nothing to a Dstone
I am an Gisland

GI've boarded up the windows
CLocked and bolted all the Gdoors

CLose my mind in your sweet Gperfume
Sit here in the shadows

Time means nothing to a Dstone
I am an Gisland
I am an Cisland, I'm Amdriftin on the Gsea
Till you come back to Dme
