Only Human For So Long

I'm tired of squeezing through places that I don't fit
I'm tired of promising that I'll take the brunt of it
Everyone's moving way too fast
I'm just trying to make this last

Cuz the first quarter of my life went by in a blur
Kept looking back
Wished I could be her
Gave everyone advice but
Never took my own
And I'll always be a-okay being alone
Not gonna catch me hypnotized into my phone

Society keeps telling me I need to run ahead
I just can't reconcile the wasted time when I am dead
Gonna keep writing all my songs
Cuz I'm only human for so long

And everybody I know is so miserable
They wanna act like they know what it takes to make my goals
Sometimes I'm bad at drowning out
They try to rip me off my cloud

Cuz the first quarter of my life went by in a blur
Kept looking back
Wished I could be her
Gave everyone advice but
Never took my own
And I'll always be a-okay being alone
Not gonna catch me hypnotized into my phone

Society keeps telling me I need to run ahead
I just can't reconcile the wasted time when I am dead
Gonna keep writing all my songs
Cuz I'm only human for so long, oh

I can't believe I let them crawl right in the empty space
I try to prove em wrong but everything seems out of place
Gonna keep writing all my songs
Cuz I'm only human for so long

I'm tired of squeezing through places that I don't fit
I'm tired of promising that I'll take the brunt of it

Society keeps telling me I need to run ahead
I just can't reconcile the wasted time when I am dead
Gonna keep writing all my songs
Cuz I'm only human for so long

I can't believe I let them crawl right in the empty space
I try to prove em wrong but everything seems out of place
Gonna keep writing all my songs
Cuz I'm only human for so long
