Not Where I'm Meant To Be

Not Where I'm Meant To Be

I am losing me

I watch the pieces disintegrate at my feet

Something that use to make me happy and free

It has no space here anymore

Days passing rapidly

Sometimes I don't know if I remember how to breathe

They stare, but do they truly know me

Trying to find my peace

In the air there's the difference

On my face you view the empty spaces

I'm going and gone

Take me back to where I belong

Caught in this trap

I've forgotten how to run

Run to what's more beautiful 

I was never sure

But I know this is not where I'm meant to be

Sacred parts of me

They took their leave long ago

I wish I knew that they were my own

But no, instead, I shared it all with empty dreams that came through

And they left me hoping, but they weren't focused 

My all given for nothing at all

And in the air I felt the tension

I knew what you knew

But I couldn't let go

I saw all potential in you

I'm supposed to be in arms that are surrounding

Comfort and protecting me

Any doubts you shut them down

But really mean 

I mean really mean what you say

Maybe it's all too much

Maybe I need to be alone

But still stay in touch

With the place that I call home
