Hey, I'm not human.

I'm really sorry.

But I'm put together to look exactly the same

so I'm often mistaken for one.

I'm not human.

 Even if you were to ask me what it is I am.

Then I wouldn't really have the slightest idea how to answer your question.

I look like a human

so everybody treats me the same like anybody else.

I want to live up to their expectations

so I'm striving my hardest each day.

Smiling and sympathy and humility

self-sacrifice and kindness from the moment I wake.

Living through all these required items that that easily surpass a hundred-million in numbers.

But even with all that, in reality it doesn't make a difference

in the end, and imitation is nothing more that just that.

 Alone, one by one people leave me.

And my humanity starts to slough off.

Bringing happiness to those dear to me

trying to laugh at stuff that's not that funny.

Before long, I end up not being able to tell what sort of face I'm making

I'm not human.

I'm really sorry.

But I'm put together to look exactly the same

so I'm often mistaken for one.

I'm not human.

Even if you were to ask me what it is I am.

Then I wouldn't really have the slightest idea how to answer your question.

One of these days, I'll be able to become a real human.

That's what dreamed, I was dreaming.

While living nice and appropriately 

while working nice and seriously.

While pretending I was perfectly OK

and while occasionally shredding tears.

I'm always forgetting the happiness I get a hold of.

I'm always shoving my shortcoming to the side.

Pissing of people, annoying them, making them sad

Just who the hell am I, anyways ?

If this was how it was always gonna be

then it would have been better.

If from the start, you hadn't made me look human

if you had made me look totally different.

I wanna try living for someone else's sake.

I wanna leave behind some significance to me being born.

Even after all this time, I'm still trying to say thing like a human would.

I still can't even pull of the most basic fundamental parts of being a human, not even one !

Wow, I really manage to believe I could do it

you have every right to be angry !

I'm not human, I'm really sorry.

But I'm put together to look exactly the same

so I'm often mistaken for one.

Is it okay for me to be human too ?

Someone, please give me an answer.

Will you guys accept me for living, imitate your every move ?

I'm not human.

I'm really sorry.

But I'm put together to look exactly the same

at least for a cheap knockoff .

No matter how many times I had thought I'd given up.

I really want to be human.
