🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • I don't know how to feel
  • But I wanna try
  • I don't know how to feel
  • But someday I might

Echo the hook

  • What was I made for?
  • Taking a drive, I was an ideal
  • Looked so alive, turns out I'm not real
  • Just something you paid for
somethingknowdon't
