Human – Ellie Goulding

Human: behave yourself.
You have burst at the seams.
Let it all fall out.
Open your mouth.
Often I lie wide awake,
think of things I could make,
but I don’t seem to have the parts to build them.

Human: I wonder why you’re a better make
than I could ever build or create.
You know not love or hate.
I am so scared of what will kill me in the end,
for I am not prepared.
I hope I will get the chance to be someone.
To be human
Look what we’ve done.
Look what we’ve done.

I would give my life to be human. (x4)

Human: I’m trying to come clean.
I will be a better me.
I will not drink until I’m dead,
I’ll make the most of it.
I don’t know what it’s like to be alive,
to say goodbye,
To cry a thousand times
because my ears won’t listen.

Human: I’m trying not to lose my faith in you.
I’ve sussed out all the lies you threw,
I’ve sailed the notion.
I am so scared of what I’ll look like in the end,
for I am not prepared.
I hope I will get the chance to be someone,
To be human.
Look what we’ve done.
Look what we’ve done.

I would give my life to be human. (x4)

I used to hear it all so loud, the sound of my heart breaking.
The truth is waiting to be found. I trust that I will too.
