You were an island I stumbled upon You were a fortress I tried to disarm But you're better on your own You sing a sad song nobody knows You say you're sorry but it doesn't show You're better on your own On your own, without me pulling you down On your own, without me hanging around I was a vessel in need of a guide You came along for the ride But I was better on my own Now I have no more tears inside And no more fear to hide I'm better on my own On my own, without you pulling me down On my own, without you hanging around I wash my hands, of any guilt Because you will live, in the house you built Go on, do what you should do I wish you well, I'll pray for you Out there on your own
