Title All I Ever Wanted (To Belong) Verse 1 All I ever wanted was to belong Somewhere I could breathe when the nights feel long Somebody to say “you don’t gotta be strong” Somewhere I could lay my heart down and be wrong I been in rooms full of laughter and noise But I still felt lonely like I had no voice Smilin’ on the outside, breakin’ on the in Tryna fit my love where it never fit Pre Chorus I don’t need a crowd I don’t need a name I just need a place Where I’m not ashamed Tell me I’m enough When I can’t explain Hold me like you mean it When it starts to rain Chorus All I ever wanted was to belong To a love that feels like home To a heart that don’t let go When I’m low, when I’m low All I ever wanted was to belong To your arms, to your soul To a place I can call my own All I ever wanted was to belong Verse 2 I learned how to laugh when I’m hurt inside Learned how to change myself just to survive Sayin’ “I’m okay” like a thousand times Till I almost believed all my own lies I been the one that everybody can lean on But who holds me up when the lights go off? I been the one that will show up and stay But I still feel like I’m in the way Pre Chorus I don’t need a crown I don’t need the fame I just need a touch That don’t feel the same Tell me I’m enough When I can’t explain Hold me like you mean it When it starts to rain Chorus All I ever wanted was to belong To a love that feels like home To a heart that don’t let go When I’m low, when I’m low All I ever wanted was to belong To your arms, to your soul To a place I can call my own All I ever wanted was to belong Bridge If you see me driftin’, pull me close If you feel me quiet, read me most I don’t want perfection, I want real I don’t want a promise, I want to feel Like I’m safe here Like I’m good here Like I can finally take off this fear And let my tears fall without defendin’ Let my heart heal without pretendin’ Breakdown Chorus (soft) All I ever wanted was to belong Even if I’m not that strong Even when I get it wrong Stay with me, stay with me All I ever wanted was to belong To your arms, to your soul To a place I can call my own All I ever wanted was to belong Final Chorus (full) All I ever wanted was to belong To a love that feels like home To a heart that don’t let go When I’m low, when I’m low All I ever wanted was to belong To your arms, to your soul To a place I can call my own All I ever wanted was to belong Outro All I ever wanted Was to belong Was to belong
