Such a pure voice.










Brandi Carlile Lyrics

"Human"

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

And we're only human
I don't need to see how it ends
To tell you that we'll never be here again
Babe, 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
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, you're 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
