about

First version of this song

lyrics

I wasn't looking for you
I wasn't looking for anyone
Just minding my own
Satisfied all alone
But I heard music drifting in
Through my ears to raise my skin
And when you spoke something broke within
So I let my guard down
And your sweet talk started to sting

I'd already learned to burn my bridges,
that an island I should be
But I was a fool for your siren song
And let you make your way to me
When the ocean is so vast
What are the chances you would land
On these battered shores
Just to shatter me more?

I'm still so naive
Though I tried not to believe
The things that you said
But I let myself be misled
All the stories that you weaved
Began to creep into my dreams
I thought that you were what you seemed
So I let my guard down
And your sweet talk started to sting

I'd already learned to burn my bridges,
that an island I should be
But I was a fool for your siren song
And let you make your way to me
When the ocean is so vast
What are the chances you would land
On these battered shores
Just to shatter me more?

You poured honey in my wounds
Then passed me the wooden spoon
I thought I would be immune after all this time
But when your zeal began to fade
And I realized I'd been played
Oh how it burned,
That fire I had to lay

Now I'll be sure to burn my bridges,
an island I will be
No more fool for your siren song
Won't let you make your way to me
When the ocean is so vast
What were the chances you would land
On these battered shores
Just to shatter me more?
