I can hold my breath
I can bite my tongue
I can stay awake for days
if that's what you want
Be your number one
I can fake a smile
I can force a laugh
I can dance and play the part
if that's what you ask
Give you all I am
I can do it
I can do it
I can do it
But I'm only human
and I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
and I crash and I break down
Your words in my head
Knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
I'm only human
I can turn it on
Be a good machine
I can hold the weight of worlds
if that's what you need
Be your everything
I can do it
I can do it
I'll get through it
But I'm only human
and I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
and I crash and I break down
Your words in my head
Knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
I'm only human
I'm only human
I'm only human
Just a little human
I can take so much
'til I've had enough
'Cause I'm only human
and I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
and I crash and I break down
Your words in my head
Knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
I'm only human
