Belonging from de ROCHE by de ROCHE

So bare, my heart kept beating
I find I can't hide back in time (time, time, time)
So full, my mind retreating
Bringing me back to my own child (child, child, child)
Now that I've found you
Now that I've seen behind these eyes (eyes, eyes, eyes)
I'll never let you go (no)
I'll never let you down
Whenever you need me I'll be there

I see the way you tried to be everything for everyone (or else)
I see the way you had to deny yourself and be the perfect girl

So calm down, what's that frown
Better look nice, be polite, don't step out of line (line, line, line)
So much shame, fear of blame
What's the point to control the mind of this precious child (child, child, child)
If only I could let you know
If only I could lift you up
If only you could see me in you now

I see the way you tried to be everything for everyone (or else)
I see the way you had to deny yourself and be the perfect girl

This feels like home, even if home hurts
No more shame. No more blame. Release the weight.
Reclaim the way to your home
And every day you wake, you say: I'm breathing, I'm loving, I'm alive, I am life

Return, return, return, return, return, return, return, return
To me
This feels like home
Return to me.
