Track 2 on the Work of Art EP is “You Belong Here”. This song is about the need for honesty in a relationship. However, the other side of the song is talking about the followup to honesty… acceptance.
[Verse 1]
Sometimes it's hard to tell the truth
And so you know, I'm talking to myself too
We all have trouble dealing with the pain
'Cause when we're hurting, oh, we push ourselves away, but
[Chorus]
You, you belong here
You, with all your hopes and fears
And all your heart, scars and secret tears
You, you belong here, here
[Verse 2]
My mother and my father felt it too
Am I enough? What do I have to prove?
We all have trouble dealing with the pain, yeah
'Cause when we're hurting, oh, we push ourselves away, but
[Chorus]
You, you belong here
You, with all your hopes and fears
And all your heart, scars and secret tears
You, you belong here
[Bridge]
To the broken hearted in a lonely state
To the ones who feel like their whole life's a hopeless case
I may be the first to say it, I pray that I'm not the last
You are loved right where you are, your future and your past
[Chorus]
You, you belong here
You, with all your hopes and fears
And all your heart, scars and secret tears
You, you belong here
