Текст Annie Lennox – Smithereens

I saw your picture
It made me sorry
For all the things
I never said

Behind the victim
Behind the trouble
Are all the things
You’ve not expressed
I see you standing behind your mother
I see you hiding behind her dress

So don’t make me sad
I couldn’t stand to watch you fall
’cause everybody has a tender heart
Remember this
I didn’t mean to break it down to smithereens

I heard you crying
I learned the story
I saw the shadows behind the past
They fall behind you
And creep up slowly
We’re only human
Behind the mask

So don’t take me down
I couldn’t stand to watch you fall
’cause everybody has a broken heart
Remember this

And you say
Everybody is an island of their own
And you say
Everybody has a tender heart
Remember this
I couldn’t stand to break it down to smithereens

I didn’t mean to break it down
I didn’t mean to smithereens
Everybody is an island to themselves
Don’t you know
Everybody is an island to themselves
