“Only Time Makes It Human” finds King Princess in the doldrums of unrequited love as she reflects on how creating music doesn’t seem to help her shake a heartbreak:
All of her love became an album
And I’m still the one who’s crying

[Intro]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (Whoo)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (Whoo)
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
[Verse 1]
I wanna know about letting go
Cutting all ties could be beautiful, babe
I know you told me you'd never call
It pisses me off how you never call (Never call)
[Pre-Chorus]
Whoo, and I'll keep selling all my problems
And she'll be the one who buys 'em
Whoo, all of her love became an album
And I'm still the one who's crying
[Chorus]
And it sucks that I think about her
'Cause thinking 'bout her leaves me lonely (Leaves me lonely, leaves me lonely)
And it's not that I wanna suffer
But thinking of her keeps me going (Keeps me going, keeps me going)
[Post-Chorus]
Whoo, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Whoo, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Whoo, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Whoo, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
[Verse 2]
And I wanna know what she thinks of me
Nothing I do is done quietly, babe
People change when you break their heart
Everything changed when she broke my heart (She broke my heart)
[Pre-Chorus]
Whoo, and I'll keep on selling all my problems
And she'll be the one who buys 'em
Whoo, all of her love became an album
And I'm still the one who's crying
[Chorus]
And it sucks that I think about her
'Cause thinking 'bout her leaves me lonely (Leaves me lonely, leaves me lonely)
And it's not that I wanna suffer
But thinking of her keeps me going (Keeps me going, keeps me going)
[Post-Chorus]
Whoo, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Whoo, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Whoo, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Whoo, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
[Bridge]
Who she was when she was my girl
Who she was when she was my girl
Who she was when she was my girl
Who she was when she was my girl
[Chorus]
And it sucks that I think about her
'Cause thinking 'bout her leaves me lonely (Leaves me lonely, leaves me lonely)
And it's not that I wanna suffer
But thinking of her keeps me going (Keeps me going, keeps me going)
[Post-Chorus]
Whoo, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (When she was my girl)
Whoo, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (When she was my girl)
Whoo, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (When she was my girl)
Whoo, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la (When she was my girl)
