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 [x4]

(to be, to be, 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 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) [x3]

I would give my life, to be human [x4]
