What I would do to take away this fear of being loved Allegiance to the pain Now I fucked up and I miss you I'll never be like you I would give anything to change this fickle-minded heart That loves fake shiny things Now I fucked up and I miss you I'll never be like you I'm only human, can't you see? I made, I made a mistake Please just look me in my face Tell me everything's okay 'Cause I got it Ooh, never be like you I'm only human, can't you see? I made, I made a mistake Please just look me in my face Tell me everything's okay 'Cause I got it Ooh, never be like you How do I make you wanna stay? Hate sleeping on my own, missing the way you taste Now I'm fucked up and I miss you Never be like you Stop looking at me with those eyes Like I could disappear and you wouldn't care why Now I'm fucked up and I'm missing you Never be like you I'm only human, can't you see? I made, I made a mistake Please just look me in my face Tell me everything's okay 'Cause I got it Ooh, never be like you I'm only human, can't you see? I made, I made a mistake Please just look me in my face Tell me everything's okay 'Cause I got it Ooh, never be like you I'm falling on my knees Forgive me, I'm a fucking fool I'm begging, darling, please Absolve me of my sins, won't you? Oh, I'm falling on my knees Forgive me, I'm a fucking fool Ooh, I'm begging, darling, please Absolve me of my sins, won't you? I'm only human, can't you see? I made, I made a mistake Please just look me in my face Tell me everything's okay 'Cause I got it Ooh, never be like you I'm only human, can't you see? I made, I made a mistake Please just look me in my face Tell me everything's okay 'Cause I got it Ooh, never be like you Baby, baby please believe me C'mon, take it easy Please don't ever leave me Ooh, never be like you
