Lyrics
Everybody told me I was wrong
They were right
Being blind when I needed
Standing right here in the light
And that's just the way it goes
That's just the way it's gone
When you finally see yourself
Right here where you belong
Everybody helped in their ways
To get stronger
Having seen what I denied
They wouldn't take it any longer
And that's just the way it goes
That's just the way it's gone
When you finally see yourself
Right here where you belong
I was tired of trying to fix myself
Not being broken why was I
Trying to be somebody else
Everybody told me they were glad
Things were better
They saw this shell of a man transform into
Something less fettered
And that's just the way it goes
That's just the way it's gone
When you finally see yourself
Right here where you belong
Everybody's laughing they're good friends
And I love them
Now my sight's come back to me
I'm nearly blinded by the halos above them
I was tired of trying to fix myself
Not being broken
Why was I trying to be somebody else
Everybody told me I was wrong
They were right
