human
Christaux Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Walking
I'm lost on a highway
I talk to myself everyday
I'll never know
If it's good this way
Everything turns
From white to grey

I am human
But you don't care
I am human
But you don't care

Don't make your feelings
Too complex
I let you free long ago
Are you ready for me
Can't you see
I'm dying
Are you ready for me
It's too much to watch
It's too late
I am human
But you don't care
I am human
But you don't care

Hear me now
Hear me now
Hear me now
Heal me now
Heal me now
Heal me now

I'm a dove now
I'm the forest
Where you can hide
Talk to me

I am human
But you don't care
I am human
I am human

I am human
But you don't care
