Somewhere I Belong
Liinkin Park Lyrics

When this began
At the start of this journey

I had nothing to say
I had no words to express how I felt

And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me
I feel confused and helpless

And I let it all out to find that I'm not the only person with these things in mind
Sharing my thoughts and feelings has made me realize that I am not alone

But all that they can see, the words revealed
The only way I can express myself is through the words that others can see

Is the only real thing that I've got left to feel
The only thing left for me to hold on to is my words and expression

Just stuck, hollow and alone
Feeling trapped, empty, and isolated

And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own
I accept responsibility for my actions and emotions

I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I want to recover and experience something I thought was impossible

I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long
I want to release myself from the emotional distress I've experienced for a long time

I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm close to something real
I want to heal and experience something genuine

I wanna find something I've wanted all along
I want to discover something that I have been searching for

Somewhere I belong
A place or state where I feel at home and accepted

And I've got nothing to say
I am out of words

I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face
I am amazed that I made it through despite all the struggles

Looking everywhere only to find, that it's not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
I searched for answers but found that reality is not what I had hoped it would be

What do I have but negativity?
I feel like I am surrounded by negative emotions and perceptions

'Cause I can't justify the way, everyone is looking at me
I feel judged and cannot explain or defend myself

Nothing to gain, hollow and alone
I feel like I have nothing to gain and am empty and alone

I will never know myself until I do this on my own
I can only truly understand myself by working through my struggles by myself

And I will never feel anything else, until my wounds are healed
I cannot experience anything new or positive until I have healed from my emotional wounds

I will never be anything till I break away from me
I cannot truly become who I want to be until I break free from my negative self-perception

I will break away, I'll find myself today
I will break free from my past and work to become the person I want to be

Somewhere I belong (x3)
The refrain, repeating the idea of finding a place where I belong
