Back where I belong |
Lyrics"Back Where I Belong"Written and composed by Yves Stilmant © 2025 Verse 1A Ten years gone, boots on foreign sand Letters home and a wedding band Faded photos in my vest Of the girl I loved, the life I left Verse 1 B I came back to this old hometown Same old streets, all turned around Saw her face in the grocery line With two kids hangin' to her side Pre-Chorus She smiled like time had never moved Said, "You made it back -- that's good for you" Chorus But love don't always look the same Sometimes it finds a different name She moved on, she built her life And I let go with tearful pride I walked alone through nights so long Until someone new came along In a world I didn't know She helped me find my way back home Verse 2A She saw the hurt I tried to hide Said, "You don't have to wear that pride" She touched my hand, then touched my soul With kindness deep and heart so bold Verse 2B She wasn't looking for a fight Just someone real, someone alive And I was broken, but she knew Sometimes the cracks let beauty through Pre-Chorus She didn't ask me for my past Just stayed beside me 'til it passed Chorus 'Cause love don't always look the same Sometimes it comes with quiet flames No fireworks, no long lost vows Just steady hands that pull you out She didn't fix what war had torn She just showed me I was more Than who I was, or what went wrong She brought me back where I belong Bridge And in her eyes, I saw a light That didn't judge but held me right She gave me love I never knew Simple, strong, and shining through Final Chorus (Double) Yeah, love don't always look the same It writes new stories, changes names She gave me hope, she gave me truth And all I had to be was me I lost the girl I thought I'd need But gained a life I couldn't dream In a world I thought had gone She helped me find where I belong Yeah, in a world I thought had gone She helped me find where I belong Outro Back where I belong... Yeah, back where I belong |
| Short Song Description: "Back Where I Belong" is a story I've carried for a long time -- not just my story, but the story of countless men and women who come home changed, only to find that home has changed too. It's about loss, resilience, and second chances. About watching someone you loved move on -- and learning to do the same, not out of bitterness, but out of quiet acceptance. It's about finding love not in fireworks or grand gestures, but in kindness, patience, and the soft light that leads you back to yourse |
