No Woman Is An Island

(album: Rachel@Fairyland - 2022)

You pinned a red rosette to my smile
But couldn't tell what hides behind
Do you think I am stupid, with nothing up there?
Said I was closed
Unable to share...

No woman is an island
No woman is a rock
You probably think you know her
You think you know a lot
No woman is an island
However strong she seems
No woman would confide in
A man who cannot see
She has universes
Inside her head
So really the problem is you instead

I shouldn't have to humour you
Because your heart is destitute
You take me for polite and mild
But actually my life is totally wild

No woman is an island
No woman is a rock
You probably think you know her
You think you know a lot
No woman is an island
However strong she seems
No woman would confide in
A man who cannot see
She has universes
Inside her head
So really the problem is you instead...

It's you, not me
Won't let you crush my dreams, be the best I've ever been...

No woman is an island
No woman is a rock
You probably think you know her
You think you know a lot
No woman is an island
However strong she seems
No woman would confide in
A man who cannot see
She has universes
And river beds
And all that awful stuff you said
And mountain ranges
And swimming pools
Kardashians
In swimming pools
Anxieties
And sadnesses
And memories of being a kid
The hope and fears
And bad ideas
Banana bread
Inside her head
So really the problem is you instead
