Sarah McLachlan - Only Human Lyrics


Intruder comes, it’s 4 a.m.
The witching hour’s back again
And I
I’m running ragged through the maze

I know the heart’s a tricky beast like some
Cool, ephemeral spirit of the night
Lures you in, robs you blind, and leaves you bleeding on the street

When all you want is arms around you
And a whisper in your ear
Saying everything’s gonna be alright
Even if it’s not

‘Cause you’re only human
You can only take so much before you break
And you feel like you’re drowning alone, and the waves keep on coming
And hold you down
And the circle goes ’round and ’round and ’round, and you can’t breathe
But there’s light that you can’t see

‘Cause I know these rooms, these prison halls
I’ve stumbled through so many times before
To find the devil lurking just behind the door
But I don’t pretend to understand
The roads you’ve walked, how you still stand, but I
Wanna try to lift some of the burdens that you bear

When all you want is arms around you
And a whisper in your ear
Saying everything’s gonna be alright
Even if it’s not

‘Cause you’re only human
You can only take so much before you break
Feels like you’re drowning alone, and the waves keep on coming
And hold you down
And the circle goes ’round and ’round and ’round ’til you can’t breathe
But there’s light that you can’t see

Yeah, there’s light you cannot see
