Village Lyrics

Ever since you went away I wondered if you had regrets or were you filled with pride that day

All the stupid things you said

All the lies you told while you were sneaking to another bed

Did it turn out like you wanted?

Did you finally find the life you thought you needed back then?

Or did it happen again?

You broke me but I was never lonely

'Cause you're not the only place that felt like home

It takes a village and mine gave me courage

I lost you but I was never ever alone

They taught me how to breathe again

They taught me how to love

Showed me how to stand up for myself when someone's crushing from above

And now I'm strong 'cause I belong

I belong

You said I wasn't worth a thing

That if I said goodbye I'd never find another and I'd be alone

Your annoyance when I cried should have been the hint

that you would never be the one who'd stay through thick and thin right by my side

Did it turn out like you wanted?

Did you find a girl who'd hold her tears in like they're a sin?

Or did it happen again?

You broke me but I was never lonely

'Cause you're not the only place that felt like home

It takes a village and mine gave me courage

I lost you but I was never ever alone

They taught me how to breathe again

They taught me how to love

Showed me how to stand up for myself when someone's crushing from above

And now I'm strong 'cause I belong

I can't believe you made me think that I was broken

when you were breaking me

I thought that it was all my fault

I wasn't worthy but finally I see

I went in strong I came out weak

Was confident then I felt like a freak

But now I know

You broke me but I was never lonely

'Cause you're not the only place that felt like home

It takes a village and mine gave me courage

I lost you but I was never ever alone

They taught me how to breathe again

They taught me how to love

Showed me how to stand up for myself when someone's crushing from above

And now I'm strong 'cause I belong

I belong

And now I'm strong 'cause I belong

I belong
