I wanna know about letting go
Know you told me you'd never call
It pisses me off how you never call, never call
Hoo, and I'll keep selling all my problems
And she'll be the one who buys them
Hoo, all of her love became an album
And I'm still the one who's crying
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)
Hoo

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
Uh, hoo, and I'll keep selling all my problems
And she'll be the one who buys them
Hoo, all of her love became an album
And I'm still the one who's crying
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)

The song "Only Time Makes It Human" by King Princess is about the painful process of moving on from a past relationship. The chorus expresses the conflicting emotions that arise from thinking about an ex-lover; the singer acknowledges that thinking of the past love leaves them "lonely," but that it also "keeps [them] going." The verses detail the struggle of letting go and trying to move on, but being unable to shake the memories and the pain that the relationship brought.
The lyrics "all of her love became an album, and I'm still the one who's crying" suggest that the ex-lover has processed the relationship and moved on while the singer still hasn't. The line "who she was when she was my girl" emphasizes the idea that the person they loved has changed, and perhaps isn't the same person they fell in love with, making it easier for them to let go. However, the singer still struggles with the memories and emotions that the relationship brings up.
Overall, the song captures the bittersweet nostalgia and pain that comes with trying to move on from a relationship while still holding onto the memories and emotions that the past brings.
