Only Human lyrics

It's getting late;

Another argument lies unresolved...

I blame you,

Though I know that it was my fault, too.

I still love you!

What am I supposed to do?

And now, the silence

Hurts more than words could ever do.

[Chorus:]

Sorrow wells in my eyes,

Does this mean goodbye?

Please, don't take your love away:

I'm only human!

Time presses on...

Who'll break the silence of this cold, still room?

Those last few words

Cut so deep... I just can't speak...

I'd like to kiss you,

Break this silence with my lips.

But pride is stronger:

With unseen arms, it holds me!

[Chorus:]

Sorrow wells in my eyes,

Does this mean goodbye?

Please, don't take your love away:

I'm only human!

I'm only human!

As we embrace

I wonder if we'll make another year...

That sounds so harsh,

But I've always been a realist.

You once told me:

'Don't give yourself away'

And now they are my words;

I carry them with me each and every day!

[Chorus:]

Sorrow wells in my eyes,

Does this mean goodbye?

Please, don't take your love away:

I'm only human!
