Somewhere I Belong
Linkin Park᠀ Lyrics

When this began
At the start of my journey

I had nothing to say
I was lost and had no words to express myself

And I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me
I was confused and struggling with my own thoughts and feelings

And I let it all out to find that
I shared my thoughts to realize that

I'm not the only person with these things in mind (inside of me)
I'm not alone in feeling this way

But all the vacancy the words revealed
Despite talking about it, there's still a void inside me

Is the only real thing that I got left to feel (nothing to lose)
The emptiness is the only thing that stays with me

Just stuck, hollow and alone
Feeling trapped, empty and without anyone

And the fault is my own
I blame myself for feeling this way

I want to heal, I want to feel
I have a desire to overcome and experience

What I thought was never real
What I previously believed was not true

I want to let go of the pain I felt so long (erase all the pain 'til it's gone)
I want to move on from the long-lasting pain

Like I'm close to something real
I want to feel a sense of authenticity and truth

I want to find something I've wanted all along
I want to discover something I have always desired

And I've got nothing to say
I'm still lost without words

I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face (I was confused)
I'm surprised I made it this far without stumbling

Looking everywhere only to find
Searching for something and realizing

That it's not the way I had imagined it all in my mind (so what am I?)
My expectations and reality don't align

What do I have but negativity?
I'm filled with negative thoughts and emotions

'Cause I can't justify the way everyone is looking at me (nothing to lose)
I can't understand why people are judging me

Nothing to gain, hollow and alone
Feeling empty without anything to gain

I will never know myself until I do this on my own
I need to undergo a personal transformation

And I will never feel
I won't experience anything else

Anything else until my wounds are healed
Until I heal from my emotional wounds

I will never be
I won't become

Anything 'til I break away from me
Until I break away from my current self

And I will break away, and find myself today
I'm determined to change and find myself

I want to heal I want to feel like I'm
I desire to overcome and feel that

Somewhere I belong
I have a place where I fit in

I want to heal I want to feel like I'm somewhere I belong
I want to heal and find belonging
