Understand Lyrics - Shawn Mendes

1 Am I asking all these questions for nothing?

2 I'm wondering if anyone's there, yeah

3 And I really need to make a confession

4 I hate to say that I'm a little bit scared, yeah

5 But I've been on this train too long

6 People getting off and on

7 Praying that I don't forget where I belong

8 And every time I ask myself,

9 "Am I turning into someone else?"

10 I'm praying that I don't forget just who I am

11 I really wanna understand

12 I just wanna understand

13 I'm calling all my friends after midnight, yeah

14 To remind them that I'll always be there for them

15 It gets lonely when there's no one to talk to

16 But it's good to know that somebody cares

17 'Cause I've been on this train too long

18 People getting off and on

19 Praying that I don't forget where I belong

20 And every time I ask myself,

21 "Am I turning into someone else?"

22 I'm praying that I don't forget just who I am

23 I really wanna understand

24 I just wanna understand

25 'Cause we all get lost sometimes, yeah

26 Yeah we all get lost sometimes

27 But don't leave your heart behind

28 'Cause we all get lost sometimes

29 I really wanna understand

30 I just gotta understand, yeah

31 No, I just need to, I need to understand

32 I really wanna understand, oh, who I am

33 [Spoken]

34 When you wake up, your whole world's flipped

35 It's just different, and you gotta, you know you gotta

36 You gotta go with it and that's just simply growing up

37 And not see it in a negative way

38 You have to see it as it's been given to you

39 I mean, as much as times can be crazy

40 You're gonna feel like that's where you're supposed to be

41 You're not gonna feel out of place anymore

42 You're gonna feel like that's where you were meant to be

43 You don't have to pretend that it's easy all the time

44 You just let it go and, and grow with it

45 And you can't hold on to the old you

46 Or the old this or the old that

47 Because you know, you change

48 And it's not changing in a bad way, it's just changing

49 Because that's what happens in life,

50 You grow up, everyone moves on

51 You're just learning, you stay true to yourself

52 Changing isn't a bad thing, it never was

53 But at the end of the day, you know, you're the same person

54 And, and where your heart is, that doesn't change

55 And every time I ask myself

56 "Am I turning into someone else?"

57 And I just pray to God that I'm still who I am

58 I really wanna understand

59 I just gotta understand, yeah

60 No I just need to, I need to understand

61 I really wanna understand, oh, who I am
