I Don't Want To Be An Island

I am a rock I am an island I am the keeper of my heart I never look for love, it never finds me Therefore I'm never torn apart A wise man said it Years ago I didn't understand it then, but now I think I know I don't want to be an island anymore I don't want to be a rock out in the sea Cause there's nothing but a cold and lonely shore When there's no one in the water but me I don't want to be the one who's always strong I don't want to claim to know what life is for I just know that it's not better spent alone I don't want to be an island anymore Out in this ocean I keep my distance I've built a fortress safe and strong This life I lead Offers resistance To all the pain I might've known But looking back now, I realize Better to have loved and lost than never to have tried I don't want to be an island anymore I don't want to be a rock out in the sea Cause there's nothing but a cold and lonely shore When there's no one in the water but me I don't want to be the one who's always strong I don't want to claim to know what life is for I just know that it's not better spent alone I don't want to be an island anymore I just know that it's not better spent alone I don't want to be an island anymore
