Embed: I'm praying that I don't forget just who I am
I really wanna understand
I just wanna understand

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

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

'Cause we all get lost sometimes, yeah
We all get lost sometimes
Don't leave your heart behind
'Cause we all get lost sometimes

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

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

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

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 amLyrics provided by TANCODEhttp://lyricsever.com/" readonly=""/>

Understand Lyrics

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

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

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

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

'Cause we all get lost sometimes, yeah
We all get lost sometimes
Don't leave your heart behind
'Cause we all get lost sometimes

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

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

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

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

Shawn Mendes (born Shawn Peter Raul Mendes; August 8, 1998 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada) is a Canadian singer-songwriter. Since the release of his self-titled The Shawn Mendes EP and his debut single "Life of the Party", he has been gaining mainstream success as a singer-songwriter and touring artist.

Mendes was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and was raised in Pickering, a suburb of the city. He is the son of Karen, a real estate agent, and Manuel Mendes, a businessman. His father is of Portuguese descent (from a family from Lagos), while his mother is English.

He first started posting cover videos on the popular social video app Vine in 2013 and picked up millions of views and followers in a matter of months, becoming well known for his six-second snippets of renditions of many popular songs. Artist manager Andrew Gertler discovered Mendes online in January 2014, bringing him to Island Records where he eventually signed and released his first single "Life of the Party" in June 2014. He is the youngest artist to debut in the top 25 with a debut song on the Billboard Hot 100, making to number 24 for the week ending July 12, 2014 at 15 years, 11 months and 4 days of age.

Prior to his signing, Mendes toured as a member of the MagCon Tour alongside other young artists and social media sensations such as Nash Grier, Cameron Dallas, Jack & Jack, and more. Mendes was also on a nationwide tour with Austin Mahone as an opening act and released his debut major label EP in July, with a debut album due out later in 2014. He won the Teen Choice award in 2014 for Webstar in Music. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
