Lyrics

I used to (C)float,

now I just fall down.

I used to (C)know,

but I’m not sure now what I was made for.

What was I made for?

Tak ing a drive,

I was an i deal.

Looked so a live,

turns out I’m not real, just some thing you paid for.

What was I made for?

’Cause (D)I,

’cause (G)I,

I (C)don’t know how to feel,

but I (C)wan na try.

I (C)don’t know how to feel,

but some day

I might.

Some day I might.

When did it end,

all the en joy ment?

I’m sad a gain.

Don’t tell my boy friend; it’s not what he’s made for.

What was I made for?

’Cause

Think I for got

how to be hap py.

Some thing I’m not,

but some thing I can be.

Some thing I wait for,

some thing I’m made for,

some thing I’m made for.
