Lyrics

I don't find any joy anymore
From the same old cycle (Cycle)
Don't know what made me happy before
From all to zero
Where did I go?

Between falling and running
I've been trying to get on my feet in time
I've never been good at crying
Always wanted to be the tough type

I'm sorry I'm just human
I'm losing myself while chasing highs
I'm losing myself while chasing highs
And burning daylight

Hmm, I don't believe in God anymore
'Cause where did she go? (Where did she go?)
I don't know what I've been looking for
I guess a hero (I guess a hеro)

Between falling and running
I've been trying to get on my feet in timе
I've never been good at crying
Always wanted to be the tough type

I, I'm sorry I'm just human
I'm losing myself while chasing highs
And burning daylight
I'm scared that I'm falling behind
I'm losing myself while chasing highs
I'm losing myself while chasing highs
And burning daylight

Goodbye old life (And burning daylight)
Goodbye old life
Goodbye old life (And burning daylight)
Goodbye old life
Goodbye old life
Goodbye old life
