Lyrics:
I used to float, now I just fall down
I used to know, but I'm not sure now
What I was made for
What was I made for?

Takin' a drive, I was an ideal
Looked so alive, turns out I'm not real
Just somethin' you paid for
What was I made for?

'Cause I, I
I don't know how to feel
But I wanna try
I don't know how to feel
But someday, I might
Someday, I might

Mm, mm, ah
Mm, mm, mm

When did it end? All the enjoyment
I'm sad again, don't tell my boyfriend
It's not what he's made for
What was I made for?

'Cause I, 'cause I
I don't know how to feel
But I wanna try
I don't know how to feel
But someday, I might
Someday, I might

Think I forgot how to be happy
Somethin' I'm not, but somethin' I can be
Somethin' I wait for
Somethin' I'm made for
Somethin' I'm made for

  • I'm an old lady, and I absolutely love this song. It addresses a longing in us all.
  • Barbie was the last movie I watched with my partner before he took his life. I listen to this song as if I were in his shoes and it breaks my heart. It brings the most incredible sadness to me. I hope you float again, my beau.

    I have to say, I got a bit emotional when I first heard this song. These lyrics hold a powerful message. There’s just something that captures your heart when you listen. The talent that Billie possesses is truly remarkable.
  • @lilam7851
    This is the most heart-breaking, soul healing emotionally touching song I've heard in a while.

    I was walking through the streets of nyc today and listening to this song, I am going through a very tough time and found myself crying. This song gave me hope just when I was thinking of giving up. When I got back home, I found a white rose in my tote bag, placed there by someone. I cried for an hour, moved by this act of kindness and the mixed messages from the universe. This rose gave me the strength to keep going, and the thought of that person’s kindness renewed my hope. This song, which I was listening to at the time, has become very special to me and always will be.
  • I'm now listening to this song, today is 06.05.2024, 2.40 pm. Just looking at the roof, while laying down on a mattress, hopelessly. Tears are falling down from my eyes. Definitely I'll come back a year after, to reply this comment. I don't know how my life will have changed in a year. I hope that all my hardships and that of everyone who sees this will be over by then... ❤ 🧚

    Man, the frustration, confusion, and overall struggle of early adulthood/figuring out your identity couldn't be better expressed. Thank you so much Billie for giving my thoughts/feelings/experiences a voice during such a difficult time in life ♡

    All the clothes matching what she’s wore on events and places to be blown away by the wind, and her frantically trying to keep herself together by picking up the clothes (representing her) this is art
  • @tammymoore4509
    I'm so tired. 😢 I come to this song to let go. It's all too much. I lost my oldedt child during Covid. Only 33 years old. Buried my father after caring for him with cancer.
  • Its like she singing for everyone who going through sadness and depression but we Will be ok 🙏🏽🙏🏽 so so deep
  • @Green.cereal
    I went to the movie Barbie yesterday with my little sister, as we reached the end of the movie and the monologue started playing with your song I coulnd't help but cry. Humans are so beautiful, but society has torn us apart. I wish we could be happier and respect eachother for who we are, but sadly we're far from reaching that. I do really think the movie has brought awareness to our situation and I hope people start waking up. Thank you Billie, for this amazing song.
  • @jasalorduno2803
    I think it was such a beatiful touch that all the outfits were hers from all the stages in her career when she was struggling. It felt ten times more personal. She wasn't just singing she was talking to us.
  • This song is so emotional for me every time I hear this I cry
  • @jamie_lou
    The world is a rough place right now, but songs like this (and movies like Barbie) help me know I’m not swimming alone in the vast ocean of struggles. Thanks for the reminder that there is beauty even in the sadness.
  • As someone who has struggled with severe depression their whole life, the lines “Think I forgot how to be happy / Something I’m not, but something I can be / Something I wait for” just really hit hard for me.
  • I don't know how to feel", this part is about someone who is depressed, but at the end she says "think I forgot how to be happy, somethin' I'm not, but somethin' I can be". Everyone deserves to be happy in life, everyone have a purpose here, this phase of not knowing how to feel one day passes, we have to accept our destiny, because nothing happens by chance, everything has an explanation behind it.
