"We're Only Human" lyrics

Whether you give up
Or you give it your best
It's hard not to feel like
You're failing the test
'Cause tragedies happen
Mistakes will get made
We love and we cry
We stumble and try
To not feel so afraid

But we're only human
Nothing more
Not far removed from the Garden of Eden
And God only knows what before
We'll do most anything to avoid the pain
Hiding our hearts and casting the blame
Six thousand tongues, but we're all the same
Ain't no need to carry that shame
'Cause we're only human

The mind was created
To help us all thrive
Get out of the jungle
And just stay alive
But gone is that danger
Gone is that threat
New lessons get learned
Pages are turned
And then we forget

'Cause we're only human
Nothing more
Just a few million years from that monkey business
And a little bit of stardust before
We work so hard to tame
The fear in our brains
Dying to love and hiding from pain
Knowing we got here, but not why we came
It's enough to just drive you insane

'Cause we're only human
Nothing more
So scared to lose a game we didn't choose
But not knowing how to keep score

'Cause we're only human
That is all
Just walking the rope between fear and hope
And knowing we're gonna fall
'Cause we're only human

We're only human
