[English]

Used to do it all so pure for the love of the song, no more

Now I think about an applause when I open my mouth

I've abandoned my emotions, I've isolated myself

When I see my mother in pain, wish I could feel what she felt

And I don't know what this all means

What this all means

It don't feel like me

And sometimes I get insecure, so I wear a dress on the town

Hope a man notices me

I don't know, it makes me proud

I get jealous and I see myself in my sister's eyes

At least she can have a good time, at least she can calm down

And I don't know what this all means

What this all means

It don't feel like me

And you won't give me the deal

I wish I was real, I wish I was

I think about it all the time

What I've been doing with my life

'Cause when it calls me back again

I hope it meant something

I hope it meant something

I've been losing all my friends, stepping up onto the ledge

Thinking I can be an angel, but keep falling instead

Find it hard to stay connected when I wanna feel protected

So hold me, won't you? Just hold me 'cause

I think about it all the time

What I've been doing with my life

'Cause when it calls me back again

I hope it meant something, oh

I think about it all the time, no

What I've been doing with my life

'Cause when it calls me back again

I hope it meant something

I hope I meant something

I don't know the meaning of anything in this song

Just wanna feel special

I just wanna feel
