People have been talking, and they’re saying funny things They tell her who she is — who she is supposed to be She sees that they will define her by the head-turning words they’ve heard But they don’t understand that that’s not her Pride is an idol that is idling her dreams It says she’s a failure unless she does these great things like Win on Wall Street or run the country or finally find the cure But they don’t understand that that’s not her She is life that is lived with a fire in the heart She is passion and purpose and she won’t give up She is more than a name but less than the ones she loves Every day a heart beats, every day a heart stops Every day she loses a little of the life that she wants She is only human, and let that be enough Life is a tightrope and it’s hard to keep your feet It’s balance and progress, but it’s slow and in between Life is too short to take the fast road or live for less than you’re worth And if you know her then you know that that’s not her She is life that is lived with a fire in the heart She is passion and purpose and she won’t give up She is more than a name but less than the ones she loves Every day a heart beats, every day a heart stops Every day she loses a little of the life that she wants She is only human, and let that be enough People keep talking, but she’s not listening anymore People keep talking, but it’s about time she shuts that door People keep talking, but she’s not listening anymore People keep talking, but it’s about time she shuts that door People keep talking, but she’s not listening anymore People keep talking, but it’s about time she shuts that door People keep talking, but she’s not listening anymore She's not listening, she's not listening She is life that is lived with a fire in the heart She is passion and purpose and she won’t give up She is more than a name but less than the ones she loves Every day a heart beats, every day a heart stops Every day she loses a little of the life that she wants She is only human, and let that be She is only human, so let her be She is only human, and let that be enough
