[English]

I just wanna feel somethin'

I just wanna feel somethin'

Yeah, yeah-yeah, hey

Hey, hey-hey, hey

I loved you well just for you to turn to an enemy

I love the smell of you burnin' your last bridge with me

I love it, yeah, I love it

I love it, yeah, I love it

Whatever makes you happy (Makes you happy)

That's all that ever mattered (Ever mattered)

And I was raised to give my thanks

And hold my baby down (Hold you down)

That wasn't enough

No, it wasn't enough

'Cause it's never enough, never enough

I let them crucify me

I carry my head down, humble

Some people get their kicks just steppin' on your dreams, I know it

Kick me while I'm down

And still, I get up

Yeah, still, I get up, every day, I get up

How can I give a damn, when I don't give a fuck?

All of the things I've lost, all I can do is love

'Cause I'm a rebel, baby, I don't play like I should

You held the shovel, baby, buried me in the dirt

I never been a Saint, baby, how does a sinner taste?

Don't believe what I read, got my own mind to think

Guess I'm a misfit, baby, they won't ever love me

I'm not the perfect pretty girl up on the magazine

With no opinions, so trust my all and wave

She'll never show her heart and they'll all call her brave

I miss my family, things will never be the same

To all the people that we lost, I'm screamin', "Rest in peace"

Oh

I just wanna feel somethin'

I just wanna feel somethin'

I just wanna feel somethin'

I just wanna feel alive

I just wanna feel somethin'

I just wanna feel somethin'

I just wanna feel somethin'

I just wanna feel alive

I just wanna feel somethin'

I just wanna feel somethin'

I just wanna feel somethin'

I just wanna feel alive

I just wanna feel somethin'

I just wanna feel somethin'

I just wanna feel somethin'

I just wanna feel alive
