Smithereens Annie Lennox
I saw your picture
It made me sorry
For all the things
I never said
It seems that
you have cause to worry
It seems that
you don't wish me well
Behind the victim
Behind the trouble
Are all the things
you've not expressed
I see you standing
behind your mother
I see you hiding
behind the dress
So don't make me sad
I couldn't stand
to watch you fall
'Cause everybody
has a tender heart
Remember this
I didn't bear to break it
down to smithereens
<interlude DF>
I heard you crying
I learned the story
I saw the shadows
behind the past
They fall behind you
and creep up slowly
You're only human
behind the mask
So don't take me down
I couldn't stand
to watch you fall
'Cause everybody
has a broken heart
Remember this
I couldn't stand to break it
down to smithereens
<interlude DF>
And you say everybody is
an island of their own
And you say everybody
has a tender heart
Remember this
I couldn't stand to break it
down to smithereens
Woh oh yeah
I couldn't bear
to break it down
I couldn't bear the smithereens
I couldn't bear
to break it down
I couldn't bear the smithereens
Everybody is an island
to themselves
Don't you know
Everybody is an island
to themselves
Everybody is an island
to themselves
Don't you know
