"Human" lyrics - CHRISTINA PERRI

CHRISTINA PERRI
"Human"
(Martin Johnson / 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-Chorus:]
I can do it
I can do it
I can do it

[Chorus:]
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-Chorus:]
I can do it
I can do it
I'll get through it

[Chorus:]
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

[Bridge:]
I'm only human
I'm only human
Just a little human

[Interlude]

I can take so much
'Til I've had enough

[Chorus:]
'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
