Of Islands Lyrics

I have a hard time pretending that I care

About the people I once knew as friends

And I could never care about a reaquainted love affair

Without a good enough reason to let it go

A fair shrug of your shoulder and a lump in my throat

In all, nothing but a put-on revelry

I tried to lie to myself this one time in talk

And things only went badly wrong

Like everything i've ever done before

Never once before have I so much dared

To walk away from all that I ever left

The problem is the secrecy

The times you left when I was in despair

Without a good enough reason to let me know

A fair shrug of your shoulder and a lump in my throat

In all, nothing but a failed sight to see

I tried to lie to myself this one time in talk

And things only went badly wrong

Like everything i've ever done before

When trouble comes through i'll be waiting for you

When things don't go your way i'll make sure that they do

Take everything but please just return
