What Was I Made For Lyrics
I used to float, now I just fall downI used to know but I’m not sure nowWhat I was made forWhat was I made for?
Takin’ a drive, I was an idealLooked so alive, turns out I’m not realJust something you paid forWhat was I made for?
‘Cause I, II don’t know how to feelBut I wanna tryI don’t know how to feelBut someday, I mightSomeday, I might
When did it end? All the enjoymentI’m sad again, don’t tell my boyfriendIt’s not what he’s made forWhat was I made for?
‘Cause I, ’cause II don’t know how to feelBut I wanna tryI don’t know how to feelBut someday I mightSomeday I might
Think I forgot how to be happySomething I’m not, but something I can beSomething I wait forSomething I’m made forSomething I’m made for
