[Intro]
God, I'm only human, trying to face it all
But I don't want to get emotional

[Verse 1]
It started in November, I started losing my mind
I ended up in rehab, I don't want to cry
But people can be so mean, and I don't understand why
And when they say I can't sing, I just want to die

[Pre-Chorus]
Trying to keep my shit together
When will this get any better?
I'm trying so hard not to break down

[Chorus]
God, I'm only human, trying to face it all
But I don't want to get emotional
Been walking on a tightrope, trying not to fall
But I don't want to get emotional

[Verse 2]
I didn't mean to do this, didn't mean to sell out
Got everything I ever thought I wanted, now I can't get out
I saw the love of my life leave me for his new wife
Stab me right in the heart with a fucking knife

[Pre-Chorus]
Trying to keep my shit together
When will this get any better?
I'm trying so hard not to break down

[Chorus]
God, I'm only human, trying to face it all
But I don't want to get emotional
Been walking on a tightrope, trying not to fall
But I don't want to get emotional

[Bridge]
I'm driving back home through the canyon
There's only so much that I can handle
Nobody knows it, nobody knows it
I never show it, I never show it
I'm supposed to be the girl that never does this
I'm supposed to be some party girl that stands for nothing
Nobody knows it, nobody knows it
I'm about to lose it, I'm about to lose it

[Chorus]
God, I'm only human, trying to face it all
But I don't want to get emotional
Been walking on a tightrope, trying not to fall
But I don't want to get emotional

Kesha Rose Sebert, whose mononymous stage name was previously spelled Ke$ha, is an American singer-songwriter best known for hits like “Tik Tok” and “Praying.” Her mother, Pebe Sebert is also a songwriter, and the two have worked together on songs like “Learn to Let Go.”

In 2005, at age eighteen, Kesha signed a record deal with Dr. Luke’s Kemosabe Records. Her first major recording was an uncredited feature on Flo Rida’s 2009 hit “Right ‘Round,” which she recorded after walking into a session between Flo and Dr. Luke. She released her debut album, Animal, the next year, after choosing from hundreds of songs, and the record debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Lead single “Tik Tok” broke the record for the longest time for a female artist’s debut single to top the Billboard Hot 100.

Nine months after Animal dropped, Kesha rereleased it alongside Cannibal, an extended play featuring hits like “We R Who We R,” which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and “Blow.” In February 2011, Kesha kicked off her Get Sleazy Tour, which travelled through the Americas, Europe, and Australia. During the tour, she began writing for her sophomore album, Warrior, which was released in November 2012. She then embarked on a world tour, and was joined by future “Timber” collaborator Pitbull on the North American leg.
