Only Human Lyrics

For the longest time

I tried and tried

To carry you in my arms

But new obstacles were hiding

Round each bend

I held with all my strength

But still I slipped and fumbled

Had big dreams

But it seems

I'm only human

In the end

For the longest time

Denied and lied

To keep these feelings at bay

But the days we spent together

Made me fall (for you)

Now I'd give anything

Just to see you smile

It's cliched

That's okay

We're only human

After all

We're only human

So soft and so fragile

As we yearn and we ache

No wolven spirit

No fearsome battle

Just stepping stones and heartbreak

Savoring what we can take

So little left in our wake

For the longest time

I tried to hide

The past that haunted me so

Till I snapped and felt

I never could move on

Finally came to see

That I was the reason

For your pain

Said I'll abstain

I'm only human

Till I'm gone

I'm only human

Till I'm gone

You're only human and I'm just like you

So cold and scared in the dark

But we light lanterns and warm ourselves through

Embraces with kindred hearts

I know you're falling apart

Let's turn those cracks into art

For the longest time

Decided I deserved

To fall from grace

Now I see that I

Deserve to fall in love (with you)

And though these pages end

Our time is not yet over

Life's no game

And I'd claim

We're all just stories

And parts thereof

And if you hear these words

And find a shred of meaning

In between

Then it means

I'm really human
