  • I play a good game But not good as you
    I may be a little cold But you can be so cruel
    I'm not made of brick I'm not made of stone
    But I had you fooled enough to take me on

    If love was a war It's you that has won
    While I was confessing it You held your tongue
    Now the damage is done

    There's blood in these veins And I cry when in pain
    I'm only human on the inside And though looks may deceive
    Make it hard to believe I'm only human on the inside
    On the inside

    I thought you'd come through I thought you'd come clean
    You were the best thing I should never have seen
    Cause you go to extremes You push me too far
    Then you keep going 'till you break my heart
    Yeah you break my heart

    See I bleed and I bruise Oh, but what's it to you
    I'm only human on the inside
    And though looks may deceive Make it hard to believe
    I'm only human on the inside
    Well I crash and I burn Maybe some day you'll learn
    I'm only human on the inside
    I stumble, I fall baby under it all
    I'm only human on the inside
    On the inside

    And the damage is done
    There's blood in these veins And I cry when in pain
    I'm only human on the inside
    And though looks may deceive Make it hard to believe
    I'm only human on the inside
    Well I crash and I burn Maybe some day you'll learn
    I'm only human on the inside
    I stumble, I fall, baby I do it all
    I'm only human on the inside
