Lyrics - Human by Pretenders

I play a good game,
But not good as you
I can be a little cold, but you can be so cruel
I’m not made of brick,
I’m not made of stone
But
I had you fooled enough
To take me on
If love was a war, it’s you who has won
While
I was confessing it, you held your tongue
Now the damage is done...
Chorus:
Well there’s blood in these veins
And
I cry when in pain
I’m only human on the inside
And if looks can deceive
Make it hard to believe
I’m only human on the inside
I thought you’d come through,
I thought you’d come clean
You were the best thing
I should never have seen
But you go to extremes, you push me too far
Then you keep going ’til you break my heart
Yeah, you break my heart
See
I bleed and
I bruise, oh, but what’s it to you
I’m only human on the inside
And if looks could deceive,
Make it hard to believe
I’m only human on the inside
I crash and
I burn, maybe some day you’ll learn
I’m only human on the inside
I stumble and fall, baby, under it all
I’m only human on the inside
And the damage is done...
Chorus
I crash and
I burn, maybe some day you’ll learn
I stumble and fall, baby,
I do it all
I’m only human on the inside
