Human Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There are times in my life
Where I just want to hide
Behind my sin
Cause Im just human
Nothing more
Nothing less
Cause Im broken inside
Broke from my pride
Cause Im just human
After so long
Thought my life
Would fall right into place
But everything was wrong
I was tripping up every night
After so long
Thought my life
Would fall right into place
But everything was wrong
I was tripping up every night
Every night every night
Every night every night
Every night every night
There are times in my life
Where I just want to hide
Behind my sin
Cause Im just human
Nothing more
Nothing less
Cause Im broken inside
Broke from my pride
Cause Im just human
When my heart had been broken
By a girl late at night
I called up my brother
Not by blood but by time
When my heart had been broken
By a girl late at night
I called up my brother
Not by blood but by time
Not by blood but by time
Now that its time to go
Im leaving everything I know
Now that time to go
I suddenly feel alone
Now that its time to go
Im leaving my home from before
Now that its time to go
I suddenly feel alone
Feel alone
There are times in my life
Where I just want to hide




Behind my sin
Cause Im just human
