Well, I fought with a stranger and I met myself
I opened my mouth and I heard myself
It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself
Guess I could have made it easier on myself
But I, I could never follow.
No I, I could never follow
Well, I never seem to do it like anybody else
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
If you ever want to find me I can still be found
Taking the long way...Taking the long way around
Sometimes someone else writes exactly what I am feeling and by the good fortune of flipping through the radio stations on my way back to the office I happen to find it.
Leaving a my networking lunch meeting there could not have been more timely words.
---------------
I had nothing to say and i get lost in the nothingness inside of me.
(i was confused)
And i live it all out to find, but I'm not the only person with these things in mind.
(inside of me)
But all that they can see the words revealed is the only real thing that i got left to feel.
(nothing to lose)
Just stuck hollow and alone and the fault is my own and the fault is my own.
I wanna heal i wanna feel what i thought was never real.
I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long,
Erase all the pain til its gone.
I wanna heal i wanna feel like I'm close to something real.
I wanna find something I've wanted all along,
Somewhere i belong .
And i got nothing to say. I cant believe i didn't fall right down on my face.
(i was confused)
Look at everywhere only to find, it is not the way i had imagined it all in my mind.
(so what am i)
What do i have but negativity cause i cant trust no one by the way everyone is looking at me
(nothing to lose)
nothing to gain I'm hollow and alone and the fault is my own and the fault is my own
I will never know myself until i do this on my own,
Cause i will never feel anything else until my wounds are healed.
I will never be anything until i break away from me,
I will break away.
I'll find myself today.
(Linkin Park - Somewhere I Belong)
You're softer than a cannon blastBut your effects much longer last And I want you just like a hole in my head But I need you like a meal and a bed And you say, "Come on, I'm not what you're after." But I know you're not just anyone, anyone
(chorus) But I'm not what you want No, I'm not anyone But if you needed me Then I could be someone
And you're an army in a horse And you have taken me by force And all the freedom in this world could not resist The sweet temptation of your sweet elusiveness So I say "Come on!" as the gate swings open Cause I know you're not just anyone, anyone
(bridge) And the lie's always cheaper than the truth But the lie's all I've ever known of you Maybe none of this is true

I dont know why I act the way I doLike I aint got a single thing to lose
Sometimes Im my own worst enemy
I guess thats just the cowboy in me
I got a life that most would love to have But sometimes I still wake up fightin mad At where this road Im heading down might lead I guess thats just the cowboy in me
The urge to run, the restlessness The heart of stone I sometimes get The things Ive done for foolish pride The me thats never satisfied The face thats in the mirror when I dont like what I see I guess thats just the cowboy in me
The urge to run, the restlessness The heart of stone I sometimes get The things Ive done for foolish pride The me thats never satisfied The face thats in the mirror when I dont like what I see I guess thats just the cowboy in me
Girl I know theres times you must have thought There aint a line youve drawn I havent crossed But you set your mind to see this love on through I guess thats just the cowboy in you
We ride and never worry about the fall I guess thats just the cowboy in us all
