I saw your pictureIt made me sorryFor all the things I never saidIt seems that you have cause to worryIt seems that you don't wish me wellBehind the (victim?)Behind the troubleAre all the things you've not expressedI see you standing behind your motherI see you hiding behind the dressSo don't make sadDon't take me downI couldn't stand to watch you fall'Cause everybody has a tender heartRemember thisI couldn't bear to break it down to smithereensI heard you cryingI learned the storyI saw the shadows behind the pastThey fall behind you and creep up slowlyYou're only human behind the maskSo don't take me downI couldn't stand to watch you fall'Cause everybody has a broken heartRemember thisI couldn't stand to break it down to smithereensAnd you say everybody is an island of their ownAnd you say everybody has a tender heartRemember thisI couldn't stand to break it down to smithereensWoh oh yeahI couldn't bear to break it downI couldn't bear the smithereensI couldn't stand to break it downI couldn't bear the smithereensYou saidEverybody is an island to themselvesEverybody is an island to themselvesEverybody is an island to themselvesDon't you knowHey yeah yeahHey yeah yeah
