jack rootes - only human lyrics

[hook]

’cause i can use a hand sometimes
yeah i can use a hand sometimes
they say pain is an illusion
this is just a bruise and
you are just confused but
i am only human
i can use a hand sometimes
i am only human

[verse 1]

i’m only human, no different from you
i’ve been feeling rather blue, and that much is true
i wake up, take a tablet and i feel fine
otherwise, i walk around feeling like i died
i go through the day, feeling like a plastic bag
discarded on the street floating aside old f+gs
i’m not being h0m+phobic, i’m referring to cigarettes
wish i had more hands to count up all my regrets

people at college think i’m some kind of emo kid
and mock me with all the stereotypes that are with it!
my skin’s pale by nature, but people think i’m ill
in fact, i’m never happy unless i’ve swallowed a pill
i’ve never been into smoking weed nor alcohol in a cup
i have to fake a smile when people say “lighten up.”
give me hard work, there’s no doubt that i’ll be stressed
but i’m sorry, it’s not my fault i get bl++dy depressed!
[hook]

[verse 2]

i get upset easily, it’s not my fault i’m like this!
when i’m feeling kinda blue, but not like miles davis
i walk around, depression always follows me like a curse
when people take the mick, i start to always feel worse
but forget them, they’re the ones that’ll struggle through life
whilst i get over this and live well with children and a wife
but what girl would want a boy who’s uninteresting
and there’s millions of boys that can be her best thing?

i’m just an eeyore without a winnie nor a tigger
at least once a day, my tears always stains my fingers
what? i don’t cut my wrists nor do i wear tons of black
but you jokers still call me an emo behind my back!
sick of being treated like i’m not a human being
and i’ll hurt you just like you do with my feelings!
all the rumours about me and depression are just lies!
i am only human, when are you ever gonna realise?!

[hook]

[verse 3]
however, this story does contain a happy ending
and it inspired me to write this message that i’m sending
at college, a group of teenage dirtbags were bullying me
thought n0body would help me, tears made it hard to see
until i heard a shout and my attackers disappeared
i saw another group of people once my vision had cleared
they held out a hand and helped me stand back up
this group were reassuring and so full of love

they were all around my age, late teen to early twenties
been close to them ever since like a bunch of pennies
this group of people i can happily call my friends
since then, the bullying had came around to an end
this can apply to anybody who’s in the same h+ll
that i was: you can still find hope and make it out well
don’t think that you can’t escape depression, because you can
after all, depression makes us only human
