Human Lyrics By Christina Perri

    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

    pre
    i can do it
    i can do it
    i can do it

    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
    ’cause i’m only human

    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

    pre
    i can do it
    i can do it
    i’ll get through it

    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
    ’cause i’m only human

    i’m only human
    i’m only human
    just a little human

    interlude
    i can take so much
    ’til i’ve had enough

    ’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
