lyrics
Verse 1: Forrest Isn't Dead
My father's a ghost a mystery,
And that leaves me nothing,
My father's a distant memory,
At least I got something.
Bridge 1: Forrest Isn't Dead
It’s been a long time,
And you’ve had it comin’.
Ya been a long time,
And you’ve done nothing.
Chorus 1: Forrest Isn't Dead
And here we are fighting our demons,
And here we are tryna be human,
And here we are fighting our demons,
And here we are just tryna be human.
Verse 2: Forrest Isn't Dead
My fathers a ghost a mystery,
And that leaves me nothing,
My father's a distant memory,
At least I got something,
I’m swimming with led on my feet,
Now I am drowning
I just hit decline,
When I see you calling.
Bridge 2: Forrest Isn't Dead
It’s been a long time coming,
It’s been a long time coming.
It’s been a long time coming,
A long time long time long time.
Chorus 2: Forrest Isn't Dead
And here we are fighting our demons,
And here we are tryna be human,
And here we are fighting our demons,
And here we are just tryna be human.
