Human

Sitting awake right into the night Wondering if words would make things right Scribbling thoughts coming to my mind Plastering over the faulted lines Throwing away all the in-betweens Hoping you won't see what I really mean Polishing dirt 'till it sparkles clean Maybe then it'll help you see All of this is just a worn-out act Pushing at doors that always seem to push back Say that I'm counting but I've lost the track Letting you go but picking up the slack Hoping today is the day you'll reach out Casting a line and cast away my doubt I'll sing in a song but I want to shout The pressure is building I'm about to blow out Wish I had one more shoulder to cry on Wish I could be the one you rely on But I'm only (human, human) Just like you (human, human) Wish I could be the one you confide in Wish I could be the one that you hide with But I'm only (human, human) Just like you (human, human) I'll cut the cords that held me down Trade for a smile I'm done with this frown Start kicking my legs won't just float or drown I'll take on the small and work for profound Look for the good in the mundane stuff Start to believe that I'm good enough Hardships are hard, but man am I tough I'll challenge beyond and I'll reach above Start taking this thing on day by day Always believe there is another way Wash over with colour what I thought was grey And say the things that I was scared to say Open on up to possibility Begin to explore my capability Aim for the best me I can be But hope through it all that you can see Wish I had one more shoulder to cry on Wish I could be the one you rely on But I'm only (human, human) Just like you (human, human) Wish I could be the one you confide in Wish I could be the one that you hide with But I'm only (human, human) Just like you (human, human) Maybe this is just the way things are Save up your funds and you'll get far Smile through the pain and cover up your scars We can kill off the planet 'cause we'll go to Mars But time can make the best in all of us It can rebuild our hope and instil new trust When it comes to each other we should all discuss A way to encourage, support, and love Wish I had one more shoulder to cry on Wish I could be the one you rely on But I'm only (human, human) Just like you (human, human) Wish I could be the one you confide in Wish I could be the one that you hide with But I'm only (human, human) Just like you (human, human)
