[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I can do it
I can do it
I can do it
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I can do it
I can do it
I'll get through it
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
I'm only human
I'm only human
Just a little human
[Interlude]
I can take so much
'Til I've had enough
[Chorus]
'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
'Cause I'm only human
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I can do it
I can do it
I can do it
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I can do it
I can do it
I'll get through it
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
I'm only human
I'm only human
Just a little human
[Interlude]
I can take so much
'Til I've had enough
[Chorus]
'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
'Cause I'm only human
