What I Don't Belong Here is about
Short and fast, this is about refusing to fit in when fitting in means shutting up. "You call it being reasonable, I call it fear with better shoes." It ends on its hook: "I'd rather burn than disappoint."
I Don't Belong Here lyrics
Go
I don’t want your warning labels
I don’t want your measured tone
Every rule you ever handed me
Was carved into my bones
You say think before you speak
I say speak before you rot
I didn’t lose my temper
I just stopped pretending not
I don't belong
Here
I don't belong
Here
If fitting in means shutting up
I don’t belong here
You call it being reasonable
I call it fear with better shoes
You say pick your battles
I say I didn’t choose
Every time I bit my tongue
Something else inside me snapped
You don’t break people quietly
You just call it adapt
I don't belong
Here
I don't belong
Here
If survival needs permission
I don’t belong here
No
No
No
No
No
I don't belong
I don't behave
I don't stay quiet
I don't stay safe
I don't belong
And that's the point
I'd rather burn
Than disappoint
