Human

I play a good game,
but not as good as you
I can 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 who has won
While I was confessing it, you held your tongue
Now the damage is done...

Well there's blood in these veins
And I cry when in pain
I'm only human on the inside
And if looks can deceive
Make it hard to believe
I'm only human 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
But you go to extremes, you push me too far
Then you keep going 'til 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 if looks could deceive,
Make it hard to believe
I'm only human on the inside
I crash and I burn, maybe some day you'll learn
I'm only human on the inside
I stumble and fall, baby, under it all
I'm only human on the inside
And the damage is done...

I crash and I burn, maybe some day you'll learn
I stumble and fall, baby, I do it all
I'm only human on the inside

Also love Pretenders' Middle of the Road, but that wasn't fitting in with today's house of angst theme.

scott: that was rather harsher than it was in my head. if it helps, it was delivered with a hearty wink.

unless you do have a certificate.

I'll take that. Or a stuffed seal with a nametag that says "Approval". That would be awesome. The Seal of Approval. I am going to dig out my stuffed seal tonight and give him a nametag.

What? I'm trying to cheer up here, you have to give me some leverage.
