human

Christina Perri

[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

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
I?m only human, yeah

[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

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
I?m only human, yeah

[Bridge]
I?m only human
I?m only human
Just a little human

I can take so much
Until 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, yeah
