[Verse 1]
The kiss that never happened
The call that never came
The hurt you mask by laughing
The one that got away
It’s all in a day of emotional traffic
Stranded, broken and tragic
[Chorus]
Finding out you're only human is hard
I want to change the world
But I don’t know where to start
And I am bold enough to believe
There is hope among the ruins
Finding out you're only human
[Verse 2]
I tried to touch the sky
But fell right to the ground
Did my best to fly
But I just kept falling down
So many hopes and dreams shattered
Expectations broken and battered
[Chorus]
Finding out you're only human is hard
I want to change the world
But I don’t know where to start
And I am bold enough to believe
There is hope among the ruins
Finding out you're only human
[Verse 3]
Oh human enough to forgive
Oh human enough to embrace
Oh there is hope
I am bold enough to believe
There’s hope among the ruins
[Chorus]
Finding out you're only human is hard
I want to change the world
But I don’t know where to start
And I am bold enough to believe
There is hope among the ruins
Finding out you're only human
The kiss that never happened
The call that never came
The hurt you mask by laughing
The one that got away
It’s all in a day of emotional traffic
Stranded, broken and tragic
[Chorus]
Finding out you're only human is hard
I want to change the world
But I don’t know where to start
And I am bold enough to believe
There is hope among the ruins
Finding out you're only human
[Verse 2]
I tried to touch the sky
But fell right to the ground
Did my best to fly
But I just kept falling down
So many hopes and dreams shattered
Expectations broken and battered
[Chorus]
Finding out you're only human is hard
I want to change the world
But I don’t know where to start
And I am bold enough to believe
There is hope among the ruins
Finding out you're only human
[Verse 3]
Oh human enough to forgive
Oh human enough to embrace
Oh there is hope
I am bold enough to believe
There’s hope among the ruins
[Chorus]
Finding out you're only human is hard
I want to change the world
But I don’t know where to start
And I am bold enough to believe
There is hope among the ruins
Finding out you're only human
