I Don't Belong Here

I don't belong here You got it all wrong Let me out Let me out I'm the harmless one [Verse 2] They say, "How are we feeling?" I smile, "I'm doing fine" I tilt my head and bat my lashes Ask if we can talk about their sign I'm polite I cross my ankles Fold my hands Bow my head No one sees the little movies Playing just behind my eyes instead [Chorus 2] I don't belong here You’ve got the wrong girl Can’t you see? Just a poor little thing who was pushed too far Who tripped into tragedy I don’t belong here Write it down Underline Make it clear If anyone’s in danger in this place It’s me you should fear being near [Bridge] I'm not the girl they think is shaking I'm the hand around the throat I'm the breath behind the curtain I'm the weight inside the coat I'm the shadow in the cameras That the nurses never see If this is where you lock up evil Why does it look so much like me? [Final Chorus] I don't belong here You belong with me! In the dark In the quiet Where the staff can't see I don't belong here Say it into my hand Write it in your own blood Baby Then you'll understand! [Instrumental Outro]
