Human

Electric light won't shine through
My darkest thoughts they stick like glue
Too many hours till the daytime comes
And in the meantime I can watch
Shadows dance on my bedroom wall
As sleepless nights take their toll
Take their toll
I can't pick you up again
I've been breaking my back with the weight of your heart
No I can't pick you up again
I've been breaking my back with the weight of your heart
Oh no
The sun now burns through all those words
The last night seemed so real to me
And I feel stupid I feel stupid
I feel stupid again
Hope was your only dream
But love doesn't last it seems
I, I couldn't save you from that
I wouldn't save you from that
Oh no
I won't pick you up again
I've been breaking my back with the weight of your heart
No I can't pick you up again
I've been breaking my back with the weight of your heart
Oh no
Well don't forget
I'm only human
Well don't forget
I'm only human
I'm only human
I'm only human
I'm only human
I'm only human
I can't pick you up again
I've been breaking my back with the weight of your heart
No I can't pick you up again
I've been breaking my back with the weight of your heart
No I can't pick you up again
I've been breaking my back with the weight of your heart
No I can't pick you up again
I've been breaking my back with the weight of your heart
With the weight of your heart
With the weight of your heart
Oh no
I'm only human
