where i belong

Ariana Grande (Grand Piano)

Intro

Somewhere I fell behind

Verse 1

The morning comes, I close my eyes

Another day I can't disguise

The world is waiting at my door

But I can't face it anymore

My legs turn weak, my breathing fades

I'm lost inside the mess I've made

I try to speak, but words won't come

I feel so scared of everyone

Pre-Chorus

And every little thing feels hard

I wear my fears beneath my heart

I wish I knew what others know

How to be brave, how to let go

Chorus

I think I grew up somewhere wrong

While everybody else moved on

I missed the part where people learn

To face the world and take their turn

I'm scared of work, I'm scared to fail

I'm scared my courage won't prevail

And every year that passes by

I feel like I'm just watching life

Verse 2

I count the words I shouldn't say

And all the looks that won't go away

I give my heart, I give too much

Then wonder why I'm never enough

Verse 3

I see them building up their lives

With steady hands and open eyes

And I'm still standing in the rain

Afraid to try, afraid of change

Pre-Chorus

My heart beats faster than it should

I wish my body understood

There's no emergency tonight

But I can't make the fear subside

Chorus

I think I grew up somewhere wrong

While everybody else moved on

I missed the part where people learn

To face the world and take their turn

I'm scared of work, I'm scared to fail

I'm scared my courage won't prevail

And every year that passes by

I feel like I'm just watching life

Bridge

If I could tell my younger self

You don't have to be somebody else

You don't have to hide your tears

You don't have to conquer all your fears

But I'm still here, still feeling small

Still hearing footsteps in the hall

Still wishing I could feel at home

Inside a life that's mine alone

Chorus

I think I grew up somewhere wrong

I've been afraid for far too long

I missed the part where people learn

To live without the fear returning

I'm scared of work, I'm scared to try

I'm scared of all the years gone by

And if the world keeps moving on

I wish I knew where I belong
