Only One

Citizen Soldier

Self-neglect so I can stay accepted
It's a vicious cycle, never learned my lesson

I'm bad at boundaries, I'm bad at love
I'll beat me down just to lift you up
I stay exhausted 'cause that's required
Damn, I'm tired

There's only one of me, I can't do everything
I wanna be enough, but don't know how
Because I'm always letting someone down
Only one of me, I'm tearing at my seams
I'm stuck in place no matter where I run
And I can't take another day, I'm done

There's only one, one
There's only one of me, I can't do everything
One, one
There's only one of me, I can't do everything (-thing, -thing, -thing)

People-pleasing is what gives me purpose
If I say no, then I forget what worth is (worth is, worth is)

I'm bad at boundaries, I'm bad at love
I tear apart everything I touch
It's second nature, it's how I'm wired
Damn, I'm tired

There's only one of me, I can't do everything
I wanna be enough, but don't know how
Because I'm always letting someone down
Only one of me, I'm tearing at my seams
I'm stuck in place no matter where I run
And I can't take another day, I'm done

Every disappointed face
Carved a temper straight into my brain
And I'm locked inside the gallery of everything that I can't be
Looking for an exit out, ‘cause they're all that I can think about
These masterpieces made of doubt
Will bleed me out until I drown (drown, drown, drown, drown)

Self-neglect so I can stay accepted
It's a vicious cycle, never learned my lesson (lesson)

There's only one of me, I can't do everything
I wanna be enough, but don't know how
Because I'm always letting someone down
Only one of me, I'm tearing at my seams
I'm stuck in place no matter where I run
And I can't take another day, I'm done

There's only one, one
There's only one of me, I can't do everything
One, one
There's only one of me, I can't do everything (-thing)
