To have learnt a lot, but not enough To have loved a few perhaps too much To have never truly understood how to be human To feel like crying, but say you're fine To think you're losing all the time To never truly know your mind is how to be human Light it up, set yourself on fire Don't look down, you're on the tightrope wire Light it up, you may as well How to be, how to be human Just to breathe, and to bleed is how to be human To be so young, but have no time To blame bad luck, but never have tried To just feel cruelly misaligned is how to be human Light it up, set yourself on fire Don't look down, you're on the tightrope wire Light it up, you may as well How to be, how to be human Just to breathe, and to bleed's human When yourself's not good enough When the world has asked too much Is the real joke on us? Oh-ooh When yourself's not good enough When the world has asked too much Is the real joke on us? Oh-oh-oh-oh How to be, how to breathe, human Just to breathe, and to bleed's human How to be, how to be human Just to breathe, and to bleed's how to be human
