Where I Need to Be
Embracing Self-Discovery: Right Where I Belong
Lyrics
Stranger at first, you lived just down the hall
Initial connection with someone living nearby.
Staying up late, movies and dates back in the fall
Shared experiences like staying up late, watching movies, and going on dates during the fall.
You made me feel beautiful, not just a fling
Feeling valued and beautiful, not just a casual relationship.
You said I'm the one, you could tell me anything
Trust and openness in the relationship, being able to share anything.
You left me on read and so selfishly wouldn't explain
Communication breakdown; being ignored without explanation.
You said all the right words to get me to be yours
Deceptive use of words to win affection.
Can't believe it was all just pretend
Realization that the relationship was a pretense.
I opened my heart but you ripped it apart
Heartbreak and emotional devastation.
So I'm picking up the pieces again
Recovery and picking up the emotional pieces.
Why do you get to be happy
Questioning why the other person seems happy after causing pain.
It's high time I think about me
Time for self-reflection and prioritizing personal well-being.
I know something good is coming
Belief that positive things are ahead.
I'm right where I need to be
Contentment with the current state, despite the challenges.
A whole week had passed, alone and awake 'til the AM
Lonely week spent awake in the early morning hours.
You finally called back, only to say that we should be friends
Rejection and suggestion to remain friends.
Was I nothing to you, you were everything to me
Feeling undervalued after investing deeply in the relationship.
You went back to her, could've told me at least
Discovering the ex-partner returned to someone else without explanation.
Did you tell me the truth, I still don't know what to believe
Uncertainty and confusion about the truth of the situation.
You said all the right words to get me to be yours
Repetition of deceptive words used to win affection.
Can't believe it was all just pretend
Continued disbelief that the relationship was a facade.
I opened my heart but you ripped it apart
Reiteration of heartbreak and emotional devastation.
So I'm picking up the pieces again
Continued process of emotional recovery.
Why do you get to be happy
Questioning the happiness of the other person after causing pain.
It's high time I think about me
Reasserting the need for self-focus and self-care.
I know something good is coming
Belief in the arrival of positive experiences.
I'm right where I need to be
Contentment with the present state of being.
I was only a page in your book
Feeling like a small part in the other person's life story.
But you were a whole chapter in mine
The other person played a significant role in the singer's life.
I've got so much more story to write
Emphasizing that there is more to the singer's life story.
But somehow I know I'm gonna be fine
Confidence in overcoming challenges and moving forward.
It's a good thing you closed the door
Appreciation for the closure provided by the other person.
Cause I deserve so much more
Asserting personal worth and deserving more in a relationship.
You said all the right words to get me to be yours
Repetition of deceptive words used to win affection.
Can't believe it was all just pretend
Continued disbelief that the relationship was a facade.
I opened my heart but you ripped it apart
Reiteration of heartbreak and emotional devastation.
So I'm picking up the pieces again
Continued process of emotional recovery.
Why do you get to be happy
Questioning the happiness of the other person after causing pain.
It's high time I think about me
Reasserting the need for self-focus and self-care.
I know something good is coming
Belief in the arrival of positive experiences.
I'm right where I need to be
Contentment with the present state of being.
