[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
