"Your clothes are in the back, " Natalie stated as I got in the car.
"Thanks Nat, how are you?" I plugged in my seatbelt.
"I'm good, your Mum left early so I was a bit bored, how about you?"
"I'm alright, how far away is Nathan's?"
"About twenty minutes, " She drove off.
"Do you, want to do, some Karaoke?" I asked emphatically. Nat and I were constantly singing all the time and it drove Mum absolutely insane.
"That's stupid question!" She exclaimed, turning the radio up.
"And our next song is Human by Christina Perri" The radio announced.
"I can hold my breath, " I began
"I can bite my tongue, " Nat continued.
"I can stay awake for days if that's what you want,"
"Be your number one, "
"I can fake a smile, " Nat started
"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 do it, " we sang together."I can do it, I can do it!"
"But I'm only human!" Natalie belted."And I bleed when I fall down,"
"I'm only human!" I continued but not with as strong a belt, "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," We sang together. "cos I'm only human,"
"I can turn it on, " I started again.
"Be a good a machine,"
"I can hold the weight of worlds, if that's what you need,"
"Give you everything"
"I can do it, I can do it, I'll get through it!" We sang together.
"But I'm only human!" Nat belted even stronger than the first time as if the song had a real meaning to her, I didn't even know that was possible. "And I bleed when I fall down,"
"I'm only human!" I continued, "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," We sang together. "cos I'm only human,"
"I'm only human, " Nat sung.
"I'm only human, " I continued.
"Just a little human, " Natalie belted once again and held it.
"I can take so much, till I had enough. cos I'm only,"
"Human, " I joined in over the top of her. "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," I let her sing the final line by herself. "Cos I'm only human,"
