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
Cause 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, knifes in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
Cause I'm only human
I'm only human
I'm only human
Just a little human
I can take so much
Till 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, knifes in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
Cause I'm only human
That we can try to be something we are not, to try and make someone love us, but we are only humans. We're only capable of so much. We're not invincible we feel pain we all do. We all break down sometimes and it's because we're humans and we need to let out. I think the meaning is clearly stated...we're only human.
