[Intro]
They want me perfect
What does that mean?
Heart on my sleeve, though
You see the seams

[Verse 1]
Woke up with last night’s pain in my jaw
Grinding through stress in my sleep, that war
Mum said pray, man I said “I’ll try”
But some of my questions just scrape that sky

Friends turned foes when the rent came due
Love turned cold when the truth came through
Still see tears on my own screen glow
Scroll through hurt that I don’t let show

[Chorus]
I am only human, do you understand?
Blood on my trainers, hope on my hands
Fall to the floor, but I stand again
I pick myself back up, I pick myself back up

Scars on my story, ink in my veins
Walk through the fire, dance in the rain
Fall to the floor, but I stand again
I pick myself back up, I pick myself back up (yeah)

[Verse 2]
Lost my way, had to check that map
Whole postcode on my back, that strap
Talkin’ like kings, but we sleep on floors
Still hit grace when we swing those doors

Slip one time, they scream “that’s you”
Like they never fell when the path got blue
Hate in my ear, but I mute that tape
Only one life and I won’t die fake

[Chorus]
I am only human, do you understand?
Blood on my trainers, hope on my hands
Fall to the floor, but I stand again
I pick myself back up, I pick myself back up

Scars on my story, ink in my veins
Walk through the fire, dance in the rain
Fall to the floor, but I stand again
I pick myself back up, I pick myself back up (woah)
