We Belong
Martina Mcbride and Pat Benatar Lyrics

Many times I tried to tell you
I've attempted to communicate my feelings to you on numerous occasions

Many times I cried alone
I've shed tears in solitude as a result of my unexpressed emotions

Always I'm surprised how well you cut my feelings to the bone
I'm taken aback by how adeptly you are able to hurt me emotionally

Don't want to leave you really
I'm not keen on the idea of separating from you

I've invested too much time to give you up that easy
Our connection is too deep-rooted for me to relinquish it without a fight

To the doubts that complicate your mind
Your uncertainties are adding a layer of complexity to our relationship

We belong to the light, we belong to the thunder
We're meant to be together in both bright and tumultuous times

We belong to the sound of the words we've both fallen under
Our hearts are aligned with the shared language that shapes our relationship

Whatever we deny or embrace for worse or for better
No matter what we resist or accept, our bond endures through good times and bad

Maybe it's a sign of weakness when I don't know what to say
My inability to express myself may be construed as a lack of strength

Maybe I just wouldn't know what to do with my strength anyway
Even if I possessed the fortitude to speak my mind, I'm uncertain it would change anything

Have we become a habit? Do we distort the facts?
Has our relationship become routine? Are we altering the truth to fit our narrative?

Now there's no looking forward, Now there's no turning back
We're at a juncture where we have to forge ahead without second-guessing ourselves

When you say
Your statement confirms the permanence of our union

Close your eyes and try to sleep now
Retreat into restful slumber and put your worries to bed

Close your eyes and try to dream
Let your subconscious guide you to a peaceful realm of reverie

Clear your mind and do your best to try and wash the palette clean
Make a concerted effort to purge negative thoughts and emotions

We can't begin to know it, how much we really care
We can never fathom the full extent of our affection for each other

I hear your voice inside me, I see your face everywhere
Your presence permeates my being, and you haunt my thoughts
