When this began, I had nothing to say And I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me (I was confused) And I let it all out to find that I'm not the only person with these things in mind (inside of me) But all the vacancy the words revealed Is the only real thing that I got left to feel (nothing to lose) Just stuck, hollow and alone And the fault is my own, And the fault is my own I want to heal, I want to feel, What I thought was never real I want to let go of the pain I felt so long (erase all the pain 'til it's gone) I want to heal, I want to feel Like I'm close to something real I want to find something I've wanted all along Somewhere I belong And I've got nothing to say I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face (I was confused) Looking everywhere only to find that it's not the way I had imagined it all in my mind (so what am I?) What do I have but negativity? 'Cause I can't justify the way everyone is looking at me (nothing to lose) Nothing to gain, hollow and alone And the fault is my own, And the fault is my own I want to heal, I want to feel, What I thought was never real I want to let go of the pain I've held so long (erase all the pain 'till it's gone) I want to heal, I want to feel Like I'm close to something real I want to find something I've wanted all along Somewhere I belong I will never know myself until I do this on my own And I will never feel, Anything else until my wounds are healed I will never be Anything 'til I break away from me And I will break away, and find myself today I want to heal, I want to feel What I thought was never real I want to let go of the pain I felt so long (erase all the pain til it's gone) I want to heal, I want to feel, Like I'm close to something real I want to find something I've wanted all along Somewhere I belong I want to heal I want to feel like I'm, Somewhere I belong, I want to heal I want to feel like I'm somewhere I belong Somewhere I belong
