lyrics

I am not a woman scorned
And it's not that I've been burnt
It's that I trust myself more than anybody else
I am me, and I have learnt

I'm not afraid to die alone
Because I am my only home
Though life might come along and try to tear me apart
But I am home, I'm always home

They say someone will come along and win me over
But maybe I don't want to be won

I am an Island
You'll see
I don't need anyone next to me
And everything I've seen
Is all mine
I'm all mine

I feared my solitude was wrong
I tried so desperately to love someone
They never loved me back, I felt so bad
They let me down, left me broken

There are so many holes in me
That I might never be complete
But when I say these words out loud or write them
I feel so whole, don't let me go

They say someone will come along and win me over
But maybe I don't want to be won

I am an Island
You'll see
I don't need anyone next to me
And everything I've seen
Is all mine
I'm all mine

So I'm learning to play guitar
Learning to trust myself a little bit more
So I know I've got my own back if I fall
If I fall, but I won't fall

Perhaps I never needed real love
I've always craved an audience
For people to surround me, to come all around me
To reach for me and be my sea

They say that maybe I'll regret it when I'm older
But maybe I'll just never get old

I am an Island
You'll see
I make myself happy
And if I cannot let you in
It's 'cos I'm mine
I'm all mine

I am an Island
You'll see
I love the sound of the sea
And everything I've been
Is all mine
I'm all mine

It's only the people I've loved that have broken my heart
But still I remember how to love
