I heard (and watched) this song on MTV when it first came out and was floored by the lyrics.

[When this began]
I had nothing to say
and I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me
[I was confused]
And I let it all out to find /that I'm
Not the only person with these things in mind
[Inside of me]
But all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I've got left to feel
[Nothing to lose]
Just stuck/hollow and alone
And the fault is my own
And the fault is my own

I want to heal
I want to feel
what I thought was never real
I want to let go of the pain I've held so long
[Erase all the pain 'til it's gone]
I want to heal
I want to feel
Like I'm close to something real
I want to find something I’ve wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

And I've got nothing to say
I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face
[I was confused]
Looking everywhere/only to find that it's
not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
[So what am I]
What do I have but negativity
'Cause I can't justify the
way everyone is looking at me
[Nothing to lose]
Nothing to gain/hollow and alone
And the fault is my own
The fault is my own

I will never know
myself until I do this on my own
and I will never feel
anything else until my wounds are healed
I will never be
anything 'til I break away from me
and I will break away
I'll find myself today
I want to heal
I want to feel like I'm
Somewhere I belong
