Oughta Be
I used to not be proud of where I came from
I put all that mileage between there and London
Caught up in the pain
Recycled blame game
But now I see more clearly
I'm where I oughta be
Ain't got no friends back home
But they're not foes, no enemies
Wasn't meant to be
Different timelines, on different roads
But still I felt alone
Not where I oughta be
You know where I come from
The land of song and green
Used to wanna be someone
Anyone but me
Took me a bit of time
But now I realise
You know where I come from
But now I'm where I oughta be
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder
And I held nothing but shame and anger
Yeah
Fallout, dust and ash
Pieces of the past
Once clouded my view
I just had to bide my time
And pay my dues
You know where I come from
The land of song and green
Used to wanna be someone
Anyone but me
Took me a bit of time
But now I realise
You know where I come from
But now I'm where I oughta be
I put all that mileage between there and London
Caught up in the pain
Recycled blame game
But now I see more clearly
I'm where I oughta be
Ain't got no friends back home
But they're not foes, no enemies
Wasn't meant to be
Different timelines, on different roads
But still I felt alone
Not where I oughta be
You know where I come from
The land of song and green
Used to wanna be someone
Anyone but me
Took me a bit of time
But now I realise
You know where I come from
But now I'm where I oughta be
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder
And I held nothing but shame and anger
Yeah
Fallout, dust and ash
Pieces of the past
Once clouded my view
I just had to bide my time
And pay my dues
You know where I come from
The land of song and green
Used to wanna be someone
Anyone but me
Took me a bit of time
But now I realise
You know where I come from
But now I'm where I oughta be
