Never Belonged

I walk these roads
these old familiar avenues
but they leave me cold
like melodies sung out of tune
I wish that I could feel
something else again
but they won’t come back to me
my memories are gone

Because I never did belong
I never sang your song
Our books had covers
of different colours
and the lines I read
came out all wrong

The landscape calls
echoes of all our favourite haunts
I wander down them
hoping I can find my roots
I wish there’s something there
some memories of me
but the more I seek them out
the further they all flee

Because I never did belong
I never sang your song
Our books had covers
of different colours
and the lines I read
came out all wrong

Somethings are meant to be
And somethings not
It’s never been home to me
couldn't fit the mould
No statue of salt am I
I never looked back
I walked away
happier for that

Because I never did belong
and I never sang your song
Our books had covers
of different colours
and the lines I read
came out all wrong
