Lyrics
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 can 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 'til 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
