I can't be happy alone anymore I've gotten used to your comforting words I bite my nails till my fingers are sore See what you've done with your comforting words No man's an island, the sages all say Who would have guessed I'd have doubted so long Now that I'm bound and I like it this way I must confess that I've always been wrong There was a time when I thought I had all that I needed My choices receded in shame There was a time when I fought For my pride felt mistreated But looking back I was to blame Now I've got a feeling so deep in my soul Just like the falcon that reels on the wing It's ripping and wringing, it won't let me go That's why I've written this song that I sing There was a time when I thought I had all that I needed My choices receded in shame There was a time when I fought For my pride felt mistreated But looking back I was to blame Now I've got a feeling so deep in my soul Just like the falcon that reels on the wing It's ripping and wringing, it won't let me go That's why I've written this song that I sing
