Human

You want me to be something more

A stronger man than I was before

Tired of pretending I'm always right

In a world that's blind to every fight

I've made mistakes, I've paid my dues

I'm not a hero, I've got my wounds

Don't put your weight on my tired back

I'm not your savior, that's a fact

I'm just a soul that's tryin' to do the right things

Don't put your weight on me

I can't fix what you don't see

I'm just like you

I'm only human, nothing more

Can't lift you up when I'm down on the floor

I bleed like you, I cry and I fall

I'm just a man, that's all, that's all

Don't try to make me who you want me to be

I'm just as lost, lost to the sea

You think I'm tough but my hands are weak

You hear my voice, but it's hard to speak

I've got my fears, I've got my scars

Don't put your pain inside my heart

I can't be the strength you seek

I'm only human, I'm only human

I see your eyes searching for the truth

But I'm not the answer, not the proof

I've got my shadows I try to hide

But they come alive when I step outside

Don't look to me for your salvation

I'm just a man in the same damn nation

I'm just a soul that's tryin' to do the right things

Don't put your weight on me

I can't fix what you don't see

I'm just like you

I'm only human, nothing more

Can't lift you up when I'm down on the floor

I bleed like you, I cry and I fall

I'm just a man, that's all, that's all

Don't try to make me who you want me to be

I'm just as lost, lost to the sea

I feel the pressure of every stare

Expectations I can't wear

I'm not your savior, I'm not your knight

Just a broken soul that's trying to fight

I'm on the edge, I'm losing grip

Lines of doubt that I can't erase

I never claimed to know the way

I'm just another lost soul in the fray

I've got my dreams, I've got my sins

I'm not your answer to where it begins

Don't put me high, don't pull me down

I'm just a man trying not to drown

I'm just a soul that's tryin' to do the right things

Don't put your weight on me

I can't fix what you don't see

I'm just like you

I'm only human, nothing more

Can't lift you up when I'm down on the floor

I bleed like you, I cry and I fall

I'm just a man, that's all, that's all

Don't try to make me who you want me to be

I'm just as lost, lost to the sea
