I've lived my whole life like any other man
Staring back at faces tryna understand
Sometimes I don't know what is real
Sometimes I don't know how to feel
And sometimes I feel nothing and I don't know why

Every time she asks me why I never cry

There's an island in my mind
Nobody knows the things I hide
There's an island in my mind
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about it

The tide is bringing trouble from my past again
Burying my head down deeper in the sand
Sometimes I don't know what is real
Sometimes I don't know how to feel
And sometimes I feel nothing and I don't know why

Every time she asks me why I never cry

There's an island in my mind
Nobody knows the things I hide
There's an island in my mind
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about it
There's just no way around it
I don't wanna talk about it

Memories, they haunt me now
So I bury 'em all six feet down
Won't they please just let me be
I wish the past would rest in peace

Every time she asks me why I never cry

There's an island in my mind
Nobody knows the things I hide
There's an island in my mind
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about it
There's just no way around it
I don't wanna talk about it

Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
