You Belong Here Lyrics

You belong here
You were meant for me
You belong here
You were meant to be with me

You got the better part of me
Always have and always will
You got the better part of me, oh
And you know that I'm right

And I know I'm asking so much
And I know I'm taking control
But a heart that's not worth breaking
Isn't worth much, not at all
Isn't worth much at all

You belong here
You were meant for me
You belong here
You belong here with me
You were meant to be with me

You are the better part you'll see
Always have and always will
You'll be the better part of me, oh
For the rest of my life

And I know I'm asking too much
And I know I want control
But I'll give you all I have
It isn't much, not much at all
I'm not much at all

You belong here (You belong here )
You were meant for me
You belong here (You belong here )
You belong here with me
You belong here (You belong here )
You belong here with me
You were meant to be with me

But I'll give you all I have
It isn't much, not much at all
But a heart that's not worth breaking
Isn't worth much, not at all

You belong here
You were meant for me
You belong here
You were meant to be with me

You got the better part of me
Always have and always will
You got the better part of me, oh
And you know that I'm right

And I know I'm asking so much
And I know I'm taking control
But a heart that's not worth breaking 
Isn't worth much, not at all
Isn't worth much at all

You belong here
You were meant for me
You belong here
You belong here with me
You were meant to be with me

You are the better part you'll see
Always have and always will
You'll be the better part of me, oh
For the rest of my life

And I know I'm asking too much
And I know I want control
But I'll give you all I have
It isn't much, not much at all
I'm not much at all

But I'll give you all I have
It isn't much, not much at all
But a heart that's not worth breaking 
Isn't worth much, not at all

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Stephen has reached that final point in writing love songs. The opposite of this song is "The Art Of War", and the companion is "Take Me (As You Found Me).

I only say this because this song is mostly directed and written as if it were towards a relationship in the final stages of full acceptance or it's converse being full loss. In this case full acceptance because this is a person saying to his significant other "You were meant for me" and "You belong here with me" and no one else. It's a quite flattering song, but it truly is meant for a mature romance (and most definitely for a couple who are getting married).

"Isn’t this really what we all want? Just to know we are accepted without any hesitation? In order to receive we must first give, and we may not be much but when we give everything it may be all that someone has in this life." - Stephen Christian anberlinlyrics.tumblr.com
