What Was I Made For?
Language: German (Deutsch)
Chosen for Diff
I used to float, now I just fall down. I used to know, but I’m not sure now, What I was made for. What was I made for? Taking a drive, I was an ideal. Looked so alive, turns out I’m not real, Just something you paid for. What was I made for? ‘Cause I, ‘cause I, I don’t know how to feel. But I wanna try, I don’t know how to feel. But someday, I might. Someday, I might. When did it end? All the enjoyment. I’m sad again, don’t tell my boyfriend, It’s not what he’s made for. What was I made for? Think I forgot how to be happy. Something I’m not, but something I can be. Something I wait for, Something I’m made for.
