Human Lyrics

Human behave yourself
You have burst at the seams
Let it all fall out open your mouth
Often I lie wide awake
Think of things I can make
But I don't seem to have the parts to build them
Human I wonder why you're a better make
Than I could ever build or create
You know not love or hate
I am so scared of what will kill me
In the end for I am not prepared
I hope I will get the chance to be someone
To be human
Look what we've done
Look what we've done

I would give my life, to be human
I would give my life, to be human
I would give my life, to be human
I would give my life, to be

Human I'm trying to come clean
I will be a better me
I will not drink until I'm dead
I'll make the most of it
I don't know what it's like to be alive
To say goodbye
To cry a thousand tears
Because my ears won't listen

Human I'm trying not to lose my faith in you
I've sussed out all that I've seen through
I've sailed an ocean

I am so scared of what I'll look like in the end
For I am not prepared
I hope I will get the chance to be someone
To be human
Look what we've done
Look what we've done

I used to hear it all so loud
The sound of my heart breaking
The truth is waiting to be found
I trust that I will take it

I would give my life
I would give my life
I would give my life
I would give my life
I would give my life, to be
I would give my life, to be
I would give my life, to be
I would give my life, to be (human)
