Somewhere Inbetween lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been pretending to be somebody else since I was just fifteen
And I don't know if the show was for them or for me
Any more, I'm not sure, and I don't recall being born
But I remember being underwhelmed when I worked out who I was
Because that didn't fit with any of
The feelings I'd been feeling, the things I started thinking as a kid
Who didn't know how to feel, but could instinctively pretend
Put on a show. Was it for them? I have forgotten where this ends

[Chorus]
Blinking in the light, emerging into something
Something isn't right, something isn't working
No one on my side, no sense of where I'm standing
Half my f*cking life caught somewhere in-between

[Verse 2]
I have been waiting for someone to say they've found out I'm a fake
A foundling fraudster on the take, a huckster hustling half his name
Around the world, and I'd reply, goodness knows you're right
I know that guy, that is to say, I do not know that man at all
After all, no one can, there's nothing there to know
It's just a show, oh the lights are on but nobody is home
They kicked me out years ago, changed the locks and took my keys
My memories seen through a window, like something I don't really own
[Chorus]
Blinking in the light, emerging into something
Something isn't right, something isn't working
No one on my side, no sense of where I'm standing
Half my f*cking life caught somewhere in-between

[Bridge]
Is it so much to ask? To be offered some protection
To be let go by the past, to feel some acceptance
To find somewhere to belong, and something to belong to
A place where I'm allowed. Anywhere but in-between

[Outro]
Half my f*cking life blinking in the darkness
Stuck on the outside, sick and mostly harmless
A stranger to myself, but still chasing their forgiveness
For anything I did when I was somewhere in-between

Always somewhere in-between
