[Verse 1]
No parents? Nah, they was there
But the love came sharp as glass
Every hug had teeth in it
Every promise turned to ash
Little me learned quick, stay small
Don’t ask for much, don’t make a sound
Home was four walls and a fight
I kept my shoes on, sleeping down
[Verse 2]
I grew up on raised voices
On slammed doors and apology scars
On “I love you” with a bruise on it
On hands that left marks in the dark
So when they ask what broke me
It’s everything, it’s every room
I never learned how safe feels
I just learned how to read the mood
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m standing in the world alone
But I still don’t know my name
Everybody got a map for life
Mine got burned in the rain
[Chorus]
Where do I belong?
I keep asking, where do I belong?
All this hurt been living in me
And it won’t let me move on
Where do I belong?
I keep asking, where do I belong?
If love was home, then home was poison
So I’m out here all night long
[Verse 3]
Depression on my back like bricks
Some days I can barely breathe
Smile on, act like I’m fine
But my mind don’t ever leave
I do not know where I fit
I feel too much, then I feel numb
Everybody got a place to land
I been falling, now I’m numb
[Bridge]
If you see me, don’t just stare
I’m a kid with a grown-up shell
Still looking for a softer place
Still trying to save myself
Say my name like it means safe
Say my name like I can stay
[Chorus]
Where do I belong?
I keep asking, where do I belong?
All this hurt been living in me
And it won’t let me move on
Where do I belong?
I keep asking, where do I belong?
If love was home, then home was poison
So I’m out here all night long
