Lyrics The Pretenders

The Pretenders

Human

I play a good game but not as good as you

I can be a little cold but you can be so cruel

I'm not made of brick, I'm not made of stone

But I had you fooled enough to take me on

If love was a war, it's you who has won

While I was confessing it, you held your tongue

Now the damage is done

Well there's blood in these veins

And I cry when in pain

I'm only human on the inside

And if looks could deceive

Make it hard to believe

I'm only human on the inside

I thought you'd come through, I thought you'd come clean

You were the best thing I should never have seen

But you go to extremes, you push me too far

Then you keep going till you break my heart

Yeah, you break my heart

See, I bleed and I bruise

Oh, but what's it to you

I'm only human on the inside

And if looks could deceive

Make it hard to believe

I'm only human on the inside

I crash and I burn

Maybe some day you'll learn

I'm only human on the inside

I stumble and fall

Baby, under it all

I'm only human on the inside

And the damage is done

Well there's blood in these veins

And I cry when in pain

I'm only human on the inside

And if looks could deceive

Make it hard to believe

I'm only human on the inside

I crash and I burn

Maybe some day you'll learn

I stumble and fall

Baby, I do it all

I'm only human on the inside
