Lyrics

[Chorus]
Everywhere I've gone, everything I've seen
It's hard just being a human being
And everything I've done, everywhere I've been
It's hard just being a human being
Everywhere I've gone, everything I've seen
It's hard just being a human being
And everything I've done, everywhere I've been
It's hard just being a human being
[Verse 1]
My back against the wall
Tried to run, but can't run no more
Got a heart, but don't know what for
Wanna trust, but can't trust them all
[PreChorus]
I've been there, I've done that, I made it, I came back
Found my way back to being me
I had it, I lost it, a slave to my problems
But love set me free
[Chorus]
Everywhere I've gone, everything I've seen
It's hard just being a human being
And everything I've done, everywhere I've been
It's hard just being a human being
[PostChorus]
I wish I could fly away like a bird
I wish I could run away and just be me
Wish I was as free as you look to me, yeah
It's hard just being a human being
[Verse 2]
These days, they feel so cold
But you're the fire inside my soul
The reason I can do it all
The reason I don't feel so small
[PreChorus]
I've been there, I've done that, I made it, I came back
Found my way back to being me
I had it, I lost it, a slave to my problems
But love set me free
[Chorus]
Everywhere I've gone, everything I've seen
It's hard just being a human being
And everything I've done, everywhere I've been
It's hard just being a human being
Yeah, everywhere I've gone, everything I've seen
It's hard just being a human being
And everything I've done, everywhere I've been
It's hard just being a human being
[PostChorus]
I wish I could fly away like a bird
I wish I could run away and just be me
Wish I was as free as you look to me, yeah
It's hard just being a human being
