[Verse 1]

Don't try, stare in the mirror

Don't try, I'm not here

Don't try, I'm not living

Don't try, I'm just waiting around

[Chorus]

I've been forced to remember

So much more than today

I've no choice but to take with me

Everything I wanted to say

Islands caught in the middle

Islands unto ourselves

I've been forced to remember

Everything I want to forget

[Verse 2]

Don't try, fear of the middle

(Just a face in the crowd)

Don't try, I stare in the mirror

(Let it bring me down)

Don't try, years wasted

(Just a face in the crowd)

Don't try, the future's hеre

And there's no way out

[Chorus]

I'vе been forced to remember

So much more than today

I've no choice but to take to the grave

Everything I wanted to say

Islands caught in the middle

Islands unto ourselves

I've been forced to remember

Everything I want to forget
