I

Understand

Lyrics of Understand by Shawn Mendes

Verse

Am I asking all these questions for nothing?

I′m wondering if anyone's there

And I really need to make a confession

I hate to say that I′m a little bit scared

Chorus

But I've been on this train too long

People gettin' off and on

I′m praying that I don′t forget where I belong

And every time I ask myself

"Am I turning into someone else?"

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

I really wanna understand

I just wanna understand

Verse

I'm calling all my friends after midnight, yeah

To remind them that I′ll always be there for them

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

But it′s good to know that somebody cares

Chorus

Cause I've been on this train too long

People getting off and on

I'm prayin′ that I don′t forget where I belong

And every time I ask myself

"Am I turning into someone else?"

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

I really wanna understand

I just wanna understand

Verse

'Cause we all get lost sometimes, yeah

We all get lost sometimes

Don′t leave your heart behind

'Cause we all get lost sometimes

Chorus

I really wanna understand

I just gotta understand, yeah

Now I just need to, I need to understand

I really wanna understand who I am

Verse

When you wake up your whole world′s flipped

It's just different, and you gotta, you know, you gotta, you gotta go with it

And that's just simply growing up

And not see it in a negative way

If they see it as it has been given to you

I mean, as much as time can be crazy

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

You′re not going to feel out of place anymore

You're going to feel like that′s where you were meant to be

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

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

And you can't hold on to the old you, or the old this, or the old that

Because you know you change, and it's not changing in a bad way

It′s just changing because that′s what happens life

You grow up, everyone moves on

You're just learning

You stay true to yourself

Verse

Changing isn′t a bad thing

It never was

But at the end of the day, you know

You're the same person

And, and where your heart is

That doesn′t change

Chorus

And everytime I ask myself

"Am I turning into someone else?"

And I just really got that I'm still who I am

I really wanna understand

I just gotta understand, yeah

Now I just need to, I need to understand

I really wanna understand who I am
