I Am Not An Island Lyrics

You walk a step ahead
Won't let me see your eyes
Don't trust me with your tears
That's probably wise

I'm trying to reach up to you
I end up stumbling like a child
I try to find the words
And now and then
I draw that smile
I hold on...

Everything I do
Everything I say
Everywhere I go it's always been the same
You'll be right behind or standing in my way
I am not an island
I am not an island anymore
You're wasting time
Saving me

Now you walk two steps behind
I still can't see your eyes
If I turn around
You'll cut right through me

And softly by my side
You fall asleep
I wait until I'm sure
You're breathing really slow as I get up
And gently close the door
Oh hold on

Everything I do
Everything I say
Everywhere I go it's always been the same
You'll be right behind or standing in my way
I am not an island
I am not an island anymore
You're wasting time
Changing me

Everything I do
Everything I say
I did it all for you it's always been the same
You'll be right behind or standing in my way
I am not an island
I am not an island anymore

Bump In The Road

You walk a step ahead
Won't let me see your eyes
Don't trust me with your tears
That's probably wise

I'm trying to reach up to you
I end up stumbling like a child
I try to find the words
And now and then
I draw that smile
I hold on...

Everything I do
Everything I say
Everywhere I go it's always been the same
You'll be right behind or standing in my way
I am not an island
I am not an island anymore
You're wasting time
Saving me

Now you walk two steps behind
I still can't see your eyes
If I turn around
You'll cut right through me

And softly by my side
You fall asleep
I wait until I'm sure
You're breathing really slow as I get up
And gently close the door
Oh hold on

Everything I do
Everything I say
Everywhere I go it's always been the same
You'll be right behind or standing in my way
I am not an island
I am not an island anymore
You're wasting time
Changing me

Everything I do
Everything I say
I did it all for you it's always been the same
You'll be right behind or standing in my way
I am not an island
I am not an island anymore

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
