Lewd Mangoes - Only Human (No Spoken Word Version)

For the longest time
I tried and tried
To carry you in my arms
But new obstacles were hiding
Round each bend
I held with all my strength
But still I slipped and fumbled
Had big dreams
But it seems
I'm only human
In the end

For the longest time
Denied and lied
To keep these feelings at bay
But the days we spent together
Made me fall (For you)
Now I'd give anything
Just to see you smile
It's cliched
That's okay
We're only human
After all

We're only human
So soft and so fragile
As we yearn and we ache
No wolven spirit
No fearsome battle
Just stepping stones and heartbreak
Savoring what we can take
So little left in our wake

For the longest time
I tried to hide
The past that haunted me so
Till I snapped and felt
I never could move on
Finally came to see
That I was the reason
For your pain
Said I'll abstain
I'm only human
Till I'm gone

I'm only human
Till I'm gone

You're only human and I'm just like you
So cold and scared in the dark
But we light lanterns and warm ourselves through
Embraces with kindred hearts
I know you're falling apart
Let's turn those cracks into art

For the longest time
Decided I deserved
To fall from grace
Now I see that I
Deserve to fall in love (With you)
And though these pages end
Our time is not yet over
Life's no game
And I'd claim
We're all just stories
And parts thereof

And if you hear these words
And find a shred of meaning
In between
Then it means
I'm really human
