Lyrics:

Baby, you’re only gonna hurt your back

Looking down like that

Cut yourself a little more slack

Baby, you’re gonna have a heart attack

And they won’t thank you

They don’t make awards for that

We know by now that time does not take sides

We’re only human

I don’t need to see how it ends

To tell you that we’ll never be here again

We’re only human

I just wanna feel my face in the sun

I never really wanted to hurt anyone

Forever only means we had a good run

We don’t need to know right now

It’s hard enough being human

It’s not like we’re ever really gonna learn

And I’m no angel

I know we’re gonna watch it burn

And baby, there isn’t anywhere to run

And I won’t blame you

For seeing all the beauty in a wildfire sun

Tomorrow isn’t nothing but a game that we used to play

We’re only human

I don’t need to see how it ends

To tell you that we’ll never be here again

We’re only human

I just wanna feel my face in the sun

I never really wanted to hurt anyone

Forever only means we had a good run

We don’t need to know right now

It’s hard enough being human

Baby when you wake up and it wasn’t a dream

And you’re tired of crying, too broken to scream

Shake your fist at the city, let it rip at the seams

Be human

You’re gonna hammer the street with your hands

and your feet

Let the bitterness die, fall in time to the beat

When you look in the eyes of the strangers you meet

Be human
