I am on an island
and different shades of blue
Now have me surrounded
and they all are you
Tragedy is sadder
than happiness is glad
You think of him in terms
of what you could have had
And you cry
I'm never glad to see you
when you cry
I always wonder why
You just don't run away
If you prepare to take the worst
It's gonna get big before it bursts
He's having a mood again
You're having the pain
Through your blind belief
that you're one and the same
But you're perfectly happy
when he's perfectly gone
He uses your soul
to write his name upon
So you cry
I'm never glad to see you
when you cry
I always wonder why
You just don't run away
If you prepare to take the worst
It's gonna get big before it bursts
You think it's you who changed him
but he's mad at the world
Believe him when he tells you
that you're just a girl
He doesn't want to walk alone
he keeps you behind
to be a willing witness
to his slow decline
It's a slow decline
When you cry
I'm never glad to see you
when you cry
I always wonder why
You just don't run away
If you prepare to take the worst
The chair thrown
cross the room
and the final act
but first
it's gonna get big before it bursts
