Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh
Oh
[Verse 2]
I just want you to know
After everything that we've been through
I just want you to know
That I still love you
That I still loved you (Hey, yeah-yeah)
[Verse 3]
Had to go across the water
Just to find what was here in my heart all along
Spend so much time tryin' to be right
That I was dead wrong
[Verse 4]
If Nelson Mandela can forgive his oppressors
Surely I can forgive you for your passion
[Verse 5]
You're only human
Let's shake free this gravity of resentment
And fly high, and fly high
You're only human
Let's shake free this gravity of judgment
And fly high on the wings of forgiveness
Oh, oh (Mmm)
[Verse 6]
Had to run to the arms of curiosity
Just to find what was here in my life all along
I had found, that the art of simplicity
Simply means making peace with your complexity
[Verse 7]
If Gandhi can forgive persecution
Surely, you can forgive me for bein' so petty
[Verse 8]
I'm only human
Let's shake free this gravity of resentment
And fly high, and fly high
You're only human
Let's shake free this gravity of judgment
And fly high on the wings of forgiveness
[Verse 9]
I've searched for romance, flowers and affection
What I found is a lesson of what love really is
Found the game of love is about how much you can take
In fact, authentic love is about how much you can give
[Verse 10]
After everything that we've been through
I just want you to know
That I still love you
Want you to know
That I forgive you
[Verse 11]
(Thank you for teachin' how to give)
And I wanna let you know how much you changed my life
I wanna let you know you taught me how to fly
And I wrote this song to tell you this
I'm better 'cause you taught me how to give
[Verse 12]
I took a swim in the sea of guilt and misery
To find myself on a island in the middle of nowhere
In my solitude, I asked to know the highest truth
And what I was told is to thine own self, be true
[Verse 13]
If Jesus can forgive crucifixion
Surely, we can survive and find a resolution
[Verse 14]
Let's keep it movin'
Let's shake free this gravity of resentment
And fly high, and fly high
You're only human
Let's shake free this gravity of judgment
And fly high, and fly high
Let's keep it movin'
Let's shake free this gravity of commitment
And fly high on the wings of forgiveness
[Verse 15]
After everything that we've been through
I just want you to know
That I still love you
Want you to know
That I still loved you (That's why)
Mmm, and I wanna let you know how much you changed my life
I wanna let you know you taught me how to fly
And I wrote this song to tell you this
I'm better 'cause you taught me how to give
[Verse 16]
I still love you
Want you to know
I still love you
Want you to know
I still loved you
(And I always will love you)
[Verse 17]
And I wanna let you know
I forgive you
I wanna let you know
I still love you
Want you to know
I still loved you
[Verse 18]
I just want you to know
I still love you
Want you to know
I still love you
Want you to know
I still loved you (Ooh)
[Verse 19]
And I wanna let you know
I forgive you
I wanna let you know
I still love you
Want you to know
I still loved you
[Verse 20]
I just want you to know
I still love you
Want you to know
I still love you
Want you to know
I still loved you
[Verse 21]
And I wanna let you know
I forgive you
I wanna let you know
I still love you
Want you to know
I still loved you
