i don’t belong here

I don't belong here.

I don't belong in this home,

I don't belong on this street,

I don't like the way I feel in this town.

I've seen it all before

way too many times

and I hunger for a life,

I hunger for a life.

I know that one day

I won't belong in your arms

and again I'll sleep alone

and I don't look forward

to going lengths of time

without seeing your face,

it's brought me more joy than I've ever known.

It's hard to leave

a hurt that I'm comfortable in,

people who know me best,

but I don't like who I am here,

I don't like who I am

kiss me goodbye,

soft and slow,

I'll visit sometime,

when I finally know.

we don't belong together

in this home,

you don't love me,

I know.
