Lyrics in English:
Am I asking all these questions for nothing?I’m wondering if anyone’s there, yeahAnd I really need to make a confessionI hate to say that I’m a little bit scared, yeah
But I’ve been on this train too longPeople getting off and onPraying that I don’t forget where I belongAnd every time I ask myselfAm I turning into someone else?I’m praying that I don’t forget just who I amI really wanna understand (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)I just wanna understand (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
I’m callin’ all my friends after midnight, yeahTo remind ’em that I’ll always be there for themIt gets lonely when there’s no one to talk toBut it’s good to know that somebody cares
‘Cause I’ve been on this train too longPeople gettin’ off and onI’m prayin’ that I don’t forget where I belongAnd every time I ask myselfAm I turnin’ into someone else?I’m prayin’ that I don’t forget just who I amI really wanna understand (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)I just wanna understand, yeah (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)Oh yeah
‘Cause we all get lost sometimes (yeah, yeah, no)We all get lost sometimesWe don’t leave your heart behind (no, yeah)‘Cause we all get lost sometimes
I really wanna understand (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)I just gotta understand, yeah (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)Now I just need to, I need to understand (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)I really wanna understand, oh, who I am
When you wake up, your whole world’s flippedIt’s just different, and you gotta, you know, you gottaYou gotta go with it andThat’s just simply growing upAnd not see it in a negative wayYou have to see it as it has been giving to youI mean, as much as time it’s gonna be crazyYou’re gonna feel like that’s where we’re supposed to beYou’re not gonna feel out of place anymoreYou’re gonna feel that’s where you’re meant to beYou don’t have to pretend that it’s easy all the timeYou just let it go andAnd grow with it, and you can’t hold onTo the old you, or the old this or the old thatBecause, you know, you changeAnd it’s not changing in a bad wayIt’s just changing because that’s what happens in lifeYou grow up, everyone moves onYou’re just learningYou stay true to yourselfChanging isn’t a bad thing, it never wasBut at the end of the day, you know, you’re the same personAnd, and where your heart is, that doesn’t change
And every time I ask myselfAm I turning into someone else?And I just pray to God that I’m still who I amI really wanna understand (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)I just gotta understand, yeah (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)Now I just need to, I need to understand (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)I really wanna understand, oh, who I am (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
