Hopelessly Human I’m no Achilles Or Hercules Pain is felt Unmercifully The only promised Certainty The gods are surely Cursing me Loveless, tortured Purposely My soul needs you So urgently Emotions Caused adversity My kiss hurt and You turned from me Running for eternity You’re pushing me away ‘Cause you’re afraid I’ll be the same As all the rest That caused you pain Your heart is scarred My soul is stained Together peace Can be obtained But it takes work to clear the fear when it’s dug in so deep ingrained I’m not ashamed My heart’s a fool Love for you My heart’s so full All these moments of weakness Make it real hard to keep my cool I don’t wanna let you go I wanna hold you forever I’m just a man with many flaws But I’m trying to be better Every day’s another battle In my head that I’m losing Are all these intuitions true Am just I lost in delusions? Losing sleep, tossing and turning As I jump to conclusions And If I pressed your heart too hard It’s ‘cause I’m only human (I’m only human) Merely a mortal man Without direction or plan Like two otters in the cold waters I reach out for your hand But you’re drifting away farther Than my emotions can stand I wanna fix your heart and change your mind but know that I can’t A ball of rage inside my skin I’m begging you to let me in Pictures of you reopen wounds Right as the healing begins Defeated ‘cause the universe Just won’t give me a win I’m doomed to walk the earth alone As it continues to spin You live inside my head My heart is filled up with vacancy Is the love for me so strong You have to act like you’re hating me Insatiably I crave you All you give back is latency Patience is a virtue Here I wait for you patiently I’m only human And I’m riddled with imperfections I could feel a strong connection I dropped all my heart’s protections Then the feelings got too real So you fled and changed your direction You can blame me for loving you But that error needs no correction (I’m only human)
