[Verse 1]
Cold floor
Face to the ground, I was done for
Mum said, "Pray," I said, "What for?"
Phone full of names I can't call

Heart heavy
Eyes red, but the world still ready
Bills in the post, hands not steady
Whole block talk like they all get me

But they don't see
Nights I was fighting the dark in me
Lips say fine, but it's hard to breathe
Still I stand up, part of me

[Chorus]
I am only human, I bleed, I break
I lose my way, then I find my faith
I fall to the bottom, my bones all shake
But I pick myself back up, I don't stay this way

I am only human, I trip, I scar
Bruised on the inside, cracked like glass
I crawl through the fire, I can't look back
But I pick myself back up, yeah, I rise from that (ayy)

[Verse 2]
Same block
Rain on the trainers, brain on lock
Friends in the grave and the county box
Still got pain I don't ever talk

Trust thin
Love come round, I just flinch again
Look in the mirror like, "Who is him?"
Got my own shadow I wrestle with

But I won't fold
Turn my Ls to a chain of gold
Turn that fear to a flame I hold
Every downfall, that story told

[Chorus]
I am only human, I bleed, I break
I lose my way, then I find my faith
I fall to the bottom, my bones all shake
But I pick myself back up, I don't stay this way

I am only human, I trip, I scar
Bruised on the inside, cracked like glass
I crawl through the fire, I can't look back
But I pick myself back up, yeah, I rise from that (still here)
