Only Human
Simon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a believer
I have been brave
Blood's been rushing to my head i'm on the edge
Tryna keep my eyes up
Take the darkness to the grave
Is this the moment when we stare fear face to face

Under my skin
Under the surface
There's something movin
Under my skin
Under the surface
There's something movin
I'm still bruising
Cause' I'm Only Human

Heart's beating faster
I come to life
The wounds that were deep, they only got better with time

I'm still breathing
I'm still feeling
What you thought would break me down only showed me Im alive

Under my skin
Under the surface
There's something movin
Under my skin
Under the surface
There's something movin
I'm still bruising
Cause' I'm Only Human

Take the darkness to the grave
Stare fear face to face
I'm only human
Take the darkness to the grave
I'll remain the same
I'm only human

Under my skin
Under the surface
There's something movin
Under my skin
Under the surface
There's something movin




I'm still bruising
Cause' I'm Only Human
