Belonging
It’s what I want
But I won’t get it
What I need
I try not to fret it
It’s so hard ‘cause the other ones are there…
My heart constricts
I fill with longing
To fit in
To start belonging
To that untouchable world…
Where everyone knows their name
They know how to play their game
But the hardest thing
That promise ring
So no matter how many times they mess up
Or how many times it takes to get the right cut
They’ll always be there
And I’ll be; where?
Stuck in a corner
“Oh, just ignore her
Yeah, she’s one in a million
The one that won’t fit in
Just shut the door
Don’t let her take the floor
She don’t got what it takes
She doesn’t have what makes
A star
She won’t go far”
But my heart still constricts
And I fill with longing
To fit in
To start belonging
Or at least to be recognized
To see in people’s eyes
That they know who I am
Know where I stand
Know where I stay my hand
I want them to know me for me
I wanna be
Lifted above the crowd
I want to hear my name cried out loud
For my heart to – burst from love
To be seen from high above
That’s why
My heart constricts
I fill with longing
To fit in
To start belonging
But then
I come down to Earth
And I see
My humble hearth
And open my eyes
Drink in the bright gray skies
And dream
My heart constricts
I fill with longing
To fit in
To start belonging

Now that you mention it, fret does seem like an odd word choice...but I'm not sure what I would use instead...
