Lyrics

Don?t Belong There
©, CJ Li, 2006.

Walked in that place again
Forgetting how long it?s really been
Either I grew taller or my house got smaller
The walls stood the same
But everything that changed

And in my mind
I remember feeling alive
In a parent?s arms
Waking up to the alarm
But all I recognize is that old closet?s side
The one I engraved my name behind

Chorus
And although I saw it
I couldn?t help it
I didn?t feel like I did before
I left it behind
Alive in my mind
But my memories
Don?t belong there anymore

I visited my old empty room
Each night I?d sing there for an hour or two
I didn?t expect to leave there so soon
Time had stolen
What I once knew

Chorus

Time to leave it all behind
I gotta learn to say goodbye
I gotta move on with my life

Chorus

I walked in that place again
Forgetting how long it?s really been
