Human

I can hold my breath
I can bite my tongue
I can stay awake for days
If that's what you want
Be your number one

I can fake a smile
I can force a laugh
I can dance and play the part
If that's what you ask
Give you all I am

I can do it

But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human

I can turn it on
Be a good machine
I can hold the weight of worlds
If that's what you need
Be your everything

I can do it
I'll get through it

I'm only human
Just a little human

I can take so much
'Til I've had enough

'Cause I'm only human...

Because

someday, look back
one a young day
we shared, we learned
we had, we lost
because you know
tomorrow had another plan
because we lose
the future will show we have left
one pain, one hope
too far, so close
we laugh, we cry
we live, we grow
because...
because we know the future will show we have left
one day, somewhere
hold on, somewhere
we stand, we leap
we fall, we go
because you know
tomorrow plays another hand
because we lose
the future will show we have left
we have someday
surely someday
surely someday...

More adventurous

And it's only doubts that we're counting
On fingers broken long ago
I read with every broken heart we should become
More adventurous

And if you banish me from your profits
And if I get banished from the kingdom up above
I'd sacrifice money and heaven all for love
Let me be loved, let me be loved

And if my brain quits, well I guess then that's just it
And if my hands stop working you can call me lazy
And if I get pregnant, I guess I'll just have the baby
Let it be loved, let me be loved

I've been trying to nod my head, but it's like I've got a broken neck
Wanting to say I will as my last testament
For me to be saved and you to be brave
We don't have to walk down that aisle
'Cause if marriage ain't enough
Well at least we'll be loved

I felt the wind on my cheek coming down from the east
And thought about how we are all as numerous as leaves on trees
And maybe ours is the cause of all mankind
Give love to make more, try to stay alive

She used to be mine

 It's not simple to say

Most days I don't recognize me

These shoes and this apron

That place and its patrons

Have taken more than I gave 'em

It's not easy to know

I'm not anything like I used to be

Although it's true

I was never attention sweet center

I still remember that girl


She's imperfect but she tries

She is good but she lies

She is hard on herself

She is broken and won't ask for help

She is messy but she's kind

She is lonely most of the time

She is all of this mixed up

And baked in a beautiful pie


She is gone but she used to be mine


It's not what I asked for

Sometimes life just slips in through a back door

And carves out a person

And makes you believe it's all true

And now I've got you

And you're not what I asked for

If I'm honest I know I would give it all back

For a chance to start over

And rewrite an ending or two

For the girl that I knew


Who be reckless just enough

Who can hurt but

Who learns how to toughen up when she's bruised

And gets used by a man who can't love

And then she'll get stuck and be scared

Of the life that's inside her

Growing stronger each day

'Til it finally reminds her

To fight just a little

To bring back the fire in her eyes

That's been gone but it used to be mine


Used to be mine


She is messy but she's kind

She is lonely most of the time

She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie

She is gone but she used to be mine

Hasta la raíz

Sigo cruzando ríos
Andando selvas
Amando el sol
Cada día sigo sacando espinas
De lo profundo del corazón
En la noche sigo encendiendo sueños
Para limpiar con el humo sagrado cada recuerdo
Cuando escribo tu nombre
En la arena blanca con fondo azul
Cuando miro al cielo
En la forma cruel de una nube gris
Aparezcas tú
Una tarde subo una alta loma
Mire el pasado
Sabrás que no te he olvidado
Yo te llevo dentro, hasta la raíz
Y por más que crezca, vas a estar aquí
Aunque yo me oculte tras la montaña
Y encuentre un campo lleno de caña
No habrá manera, mi rayo de luna
Que tú te vayas
Uoh oh oh
Pienso que cada instante
Sobrevivido al caminar
Y cada segundo de incertidumbre
Cada momento de no saber
Son la clave exacta de ese tejido
Que ando cargando bajo la piel
Así te protejo

Final fantasy quotes

Sometimes you can't think everything out.
You have to listen to your heart.
