"Human" lyrics

"Human"

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

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 times 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 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 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
Human
I would give my life
Human
I would give my life
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 would give my life
To be human
