(gentle music)

♪ Well, you make it sound so pretty ♪

♪ Even when it's not ♪

♪ Didn't choose, but it's the only one we've got ♪

♪ And sometimes I get so tired ♪

♪ Of getting tied up in my thoughts ♪

♪ You're the only one that ever makes it stop ♪

♪ God, it hurts to be human ♪

♪ Without you, I'd be losing ♪

♪ Yeah, someday we'll face the music ♪

♪ God, it hurts to be human ♪

♪ But I've got you, you, you, you, you, hey ♪

♪ And you've got me, me, me, me, too ♪

♪ Like we're buckled in preparing for the crash ♪

♪ Like we're walking down a road of broken glass ♪

♪ Now if we defeat all odds ♪

♪ And it was us against the world ♪

♪ You can count on me, you know I'd have your back ♪

♪ God, it hurts to be human ♪

♪ Without you, I'd be losing ♪

♪ Yeah, someday we'll face the music ♪

♪ And you've got me, me, me, me, too ♪

♪ But I've got you, you, you, you, you, hey ♪

♪ And you've got me, me, me, me, too ♪

♪ Hope flows away ♪

♪ If you could spend a day in my shoes ♪

♪ Your mind would change ♪

♪ If you knew what I've gone through ♪

♪ We want the same ♪

♪ Yeah, we do ♪

♪ Maybe then you'd understand ♪

♪ How it hurts to be human ♪

♪ God, it hurts to be human ♪

♪ Without you, without you, I'd be losing ♪

♪ Yeah, someday, we'll face the music ♪

♪ God, it hurts to be human ♪

♪ But I've got you, you, you, you, you, hey ♪

♪ And you've got me, me, me, me, too ♪
