Lyrics
Only Temporary
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't let the situation get to you
This is not a hill worth dying on
Do't let these circumstances tear your heart in two
Soon enough this chapter will be gone
What's insurmountable today
Will surely one day fade away
There's a reason why this world just don't feel right
Cause we are strangers who are simply passing by
In light of all eternity
It's only temporary
This place was never meant to be my home
Not comfortable in my own skin
Which may explain some of those days I feel alone
Standing on the outside looking in
But you're not hearing me complain
Cause I'm already on my way
This place was never meant to be my home
Not comfortable in my own skin
