Lyrics The Place Where I Belong - Riverside

I've tried different ways
So many times
I've tried to run away
Hide behind makeup
And when I felt this time it would be okay
You grabbed me by the hair
And threw into the same cage
Again

You are classified
Do not even try (you said)
No one will believe you
Just like I believed you, my love
Do not play with fire

I've tried many times
In different ways
To get out from the drawer
With your favourite tag
And when I felt this time it would be all right
You decided to lead me on your "right path"
Teach me humility

You are classified
Do not even try (you said)
I loved you
So you need to feel my hate for you now
You asked for it yourself

I went out into the street
Wasn't here for a long time
Everyone's divided
Extreme right or extreme left
That's the only choice

And this goddamn anger
Coming from every corner
I am not surprised
Not happy either
Because how much can you bear being fucking lied to

Give me another sentence
And remember that it should be smart
To make me stop
To cool me down
But maybe I don't want to wait for better times
Maybe I don't want to listen to what's best for me
When I will try

Another pop-philosopher
Tells you how you should live
By starting from getting to know yourself
Wow, BFD, indeed
Tell me something I don't know about
Tell me something that doesn't sound
Like you just finished high school
And learned by heart
A few well-known quotes from your favourite browser

Give me another sentence
And remember that it should be smart
To make me stop
To cool me down
But maybe I don't want to take another pill
Maybe meditation app is not for me
Maybe I don't need your coaching course
Hearing that is all my fault

For it matters
Where I was born
And where I live
What's my gender
What's the colour of my skin
We don't have equal chances
Everything doesn't depend on me
No, oh no
Stop saying that
Stop saying that
Stop saying that

The place where I belong
A bit of my own accord
When I feel calm and comfortable
Where I don't care anymore
If you believe my words
Yes, I am tired of your requirements

When your bar is set too high
I'm sorry, I'm getting out
Of this race
Don't want to take my part

When your bar is set too high
I'm sorry, I'm checking out
Of this race
Don't want to share my part

I don't have to be the best
Feel pressure all the time
"The winner takes it all" is not my thing
Stop comparing me
To someone else's dreams
Let me stay in the place where I belong

For your bar is set too high
I'm sorry, I'm getting out
Of this race
Don't want to take my part

For your bar is set too high
I'm sorry, I'm checking out
Of this race
Don't want to share my part

For your bar is set too high
I'm sorry, I'm getting out
Of this race
Don't want to take my part
