I couldn't tell you Why she felt that way She felt it everyday And I couldn't help her I just watched her make The same mistakes again What's wrong, what's wrong now Too many, too many problems Don't know where she belongs Where she belongs She wants to go home But nobody's home That's where she lies Broken inside With no place to go No place to go To dry her eyes Broken inside Open your eyes And look outside Find the reasons why You've been rejected And now you can't find What you left behind Be strong, be strong now Too many, too many problems Don't know where she belongs Where she belongs She wants to go home But nobody's home That's where she lies Broken inside With no place to go No place to go To dry her eyes Broken inside Her feelings she hides Her dreams she can't find She's losing her mind She's falling behind She can't find her place She's losing her faith She's falling from grace She's all over the place, yeah She wants to go home But nobody's home That's where she lies Broken inside With no place to go No place to go to To dry her eyes Broken inside She's lost inside, lost inside She's lost inside, lost inside
