intro

Hm, hm
Hm, hm

verse

I used to float, now I just fall down
Antes flotaba, ahora solo me deprimo
I used to know, but I′m not sure now
Solía saber, pero ahora ya no sé
What I was made for
Para qué fui hecha
What was I made for?
¿Para qué fui hecha?
Takin' a drive, I was an ideal
Yendo a dar una vuelta, era la persona ideal
Looked so alive, turns out I′m not real
Me ví tan vivo, pero resulta que no soy alguien real
Just somethin' you paid for
Solo algo por lo que pagas
What was I made for? Hm
¿Cuál fué la razón por la que fuí creado? Hm

pre-chorus

'Cause I, I
Porque yo, yo
I don′t know how to feel
Yo no sé cómo sentirme
But I wanna try
Pero quiero intentar

chorus

I don′t know how to feel
Yo no sé cómo sentirme
But someday I might
Pero algún día tal vez lo haga
Someday I might
Algún día tal vez lo haga

hook

Mm, hm, ha, ah
Mm, hm, ha-ah
Hm, hm, hm
Hm, hm, hm

verse

When did it end, all the enjoyment?
¿Cuando todo se terminó? Toda la alegría
I'm sad again, don′t tell my boyfriend
Estoy mal de vuelta, no se lo digás a mi novio
It's not what he′s made for
Él no fue hecho para eso
What was I made for?
¿Para qué fui hecha?

pre-chorus

'Cause I, ′cause I
Porque yo, porque yo
I don't know how to feel
Yo no sé cómo sentirme
But I wanna try
Pero quiero intentar

chorus

I don't know how to feel
Yo no sé cómo sentirme
But someday I might
Pero algún día tal vez lo haga
Someday I might
Algún día tal vez lo haga

hook

Mm, hm, hm
Hm, hm, hm

outro

Think I forgot how to be happy
Creo que olvidé cómo ser feliz
Somethin′ I′m not, but somethin' I can be
Algo que no soy, pero algo que puedo ser
Somethin′ I wait for
Algo que espero
Somethin' I′m made for
Algo para lo que estoy hecha
Somethin' I′m made for
Algo para lo que estoy hecha
Writer(s): Finneas Baird O'connell, Billie Eilish O'connell
