Lyrics
0:13Am I asking all these questions for nothing
0:19I'm wondering if anyone's there
0:25And I really need to make a confession
0:31I hate to say that I'm a little bit scared
0:37That I've been on this train too long
0:40People getting off and on
0:43I'm prayin' that I don't forget where I belong
0:49And every time I ask myself
0:52Am I turnin' into someone else
0:55I'm prayin' that I don't forget just who I am
1:00I really wanna understand
1:06I just wanna understand
1:14I'm calling all my friends after midnight yeah
1:20To remind 'em that I'll always be there for them
1:26It gets lonely when there's no one to talk to
1:32But it's good to know that somebody cares
1:38Cause I've been on this train too long
1:41People gettin' off and on
1:44I'm prayin' that I don't forget where I belong
1:50And every time I ask myself
1:53Am I turnin' into someone else
1:56I'm prayin' that I don't forget just who I am
2:00I really wanna understand
2:06I just wanna understand
2:14'Cause we all get lost sometimes yeah
2:20Yeah we all get lost sometimes
2:26We don't leave your heart behind
2:32'Cause we all get lost sometimes
2:37I really wanna understand
2:43But I just gotta understand
2:49Now I just need to I need to understand
2:55I really wanna understand ohh who I am
3:09When you wake up your whole world's flipped
3:11It's just different and you gotta
3:13You know you gotta
3:14You gotta go with it
3:15And that's just simply growing up
3:19And not see it in a negative way
3:22If they see it as it has been given to you
3:24I mean as much as times can be crazy
3:28You're gonna feel like that's where you're supposed to be
3:32You're not going to feel out of place anymore
3:36You're going to feel like that's where you meant to be
3:39You don't have to pretend that it's easy all the time
3:42You just let it go and and grow with it
3:44And you can't hold on to the old you
3:46Or the old this or the old that
3:48Because you know you change and it's not changing in a bad way
3:51It's just changing because that's what happens in life
3:54You grow up everyone moves on
3:57You're just learning
4:00You stay true to yourself
4:04Changing isn't a bad thing
4:05It never was
4:07But at the end of the day you know
4:09You're the same person
4:12And and where your heart is
4:14That doesn't change
4:17And everytime I ask myself
4:20Am I turning into someone else
4:23And I just really got I'm still who I am
4:28I really wanna understand
4:34I just gotta understand yeah
4:40Now I just need to I need to understand
