Lyrics

Only Human

I left Chicago in my wake
The rolling hills of Tennessee
Carried me away
Longing for a quiet life
Now I’ve come to find
It’s just a fantasy

I am tired and I’m wasting time
I am only human

It doesn’t matter what they say
Phony good intentions
They don’t matter anyway
I am not the only one
A cult of personality
I’m not the enemy

I am tired and I’m wasting time
I am sorry for the world we leave behind
I am only human

Won’t you rise with me tonight
Together we’ll ride into the light

I am tired, no more wasting time
I am sorry for the world we leave behind
I am the tears on your pillow
When you wake up in the night
I am only human
