I'm only human
I make mistakes
Sometimes I do things that are bad
I cry myself to sleep some nights
I think if I'll ever do it right for them
I'm only human
Things won't go my way
And I'm a mess when it comes to love
I try to run
But end up falling on the ground
I'm only human
I ask for a second chance
But strikeout in the game
I ask to build a time machine
When time couldn't stop itself
I'm only human
I stand around
When the world is moving
Collage is a dream
That could never come
I'm only human
I ask for so little
But give so much
So all I ask is
Will I stop being a human

We are all human and I'm not a perfect human we all make mistakes and I just want to show people when we do make them that forgiveness may come and being human is part of being you
