Only Human - 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.

I can hold my breath. I can bite my tongue. I'm able to stay awake for days if that's what they want me to do. I can be their number one. I'm always able to fake a smile. It's easy to force a lough and I can do it. I can dance and play the part if that's what they want. Give them all I am.

I can do it.
I can do it.
I can do it.

I'm able to do it. I can do it. I'll 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.

Lately I've been getting a lot of hate, for being with the man I love. Don't they know that I'm only human?

I'm like them, I bleed when I fall down. At times I crash and break down. The hate is always in my head, those hurtful words are just too hurtful.

Zayn, my loving boyfriend, knows about this and he comforts me from time to time. It makes me feel better but then I fall apart again.

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.
I can do it.
I can do it.
I'll get through it.

I can be good machine, I can hold the weight of this huge world if that's what they need. Be their everything, until they stop all the hate. I can do it and I'll get through all of this shit.

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.

But I'm a human, just like them. Why would they say such mean things about me for just being with the love of my life?

I'm only human.
I'm only human.
Just a little human.
I can take so much.
'Til I've had enough.

I'm a human, but apparently they think I'm not a human. I'm a human and I can take so much until 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.

I'm a human. I eat like a human. I play like a human. I walk like a human. I sleep like a human. I live like a human. I'm only human.
