Reed Pittman - Island Lyrics

I built myself an island
Right in the middle of our home
A place that I could run to
For whenever I felt alone
I just wanted some peace
I just wanted some consolation
I built these walls for safety
Now they're breaking me down
Love can't survive on an island
Like a castaway
A heart only dies on an island
I need an escape
The signal fire's burning out
And I'm forgetting how
I got here in the first place
Love can't survive on an island
I know that it was selfish
To think I could carry it all
That it didn't really matter
That I had nobody to call
Now I'm crying out
I'm singing like a siren
And the water keeps rising
Higher and higher
Love can't survive on an island
Like a castaway
A heart only dies on an island
I need an escape
The signal fire's burning out
And I'm forgetting how
I got here in the first place
Love can't survive on an island
Love can't survive on an island
A heart only dies on an island
Love can't survive on an island
Like a castaway
A heart only dies on an island
I need an escape
The signal fire's burning out
And I'm forgetting how
I got here in the first place
Love can't survive on an island

I built myself an island
Right in the middle of our home
A place that I could run to
For whenever I felt alone
I just wanted some peace
I just wanted some consolation
I built these walls for safety
Now they're breaking me down
Love can't survive on an island
Like a castaway
A heart only dies on an island
I need an escape
The signal fire's burning out
And I'm forgetting how
I got here in the first place
Love can't survive on an island
I know that it was selfish
To think I could carry it all
That it didn't really matter
That I had nobody to call
Now I'm crying out
I'm singing like a siren
And the water keeps rising
Higher and higher
Love can't survive on an island
Like a castaway
A heart only dies on an island
I need an escape
The signal fire's burning out
And I'm forgetting how
I got here in the first place
Love can't survive on an island
Love can't survive on an island
A heart only dies on an island
Love can't survive on an island
Like a castaway
A heart only dies on an island
I need an escape
The signal fire's burning out
And I'm forgetting how
I got here in the first place
Love can't survive on an island
