  • 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 something 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

    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
    Something I'm not, but something I can be
    Something I wait for
    Something I'm made for
    Something I'm made for Writer/s: Billie Eilish O'Connell, Finneas Baird O'Connell
