Being Human Lyrics

I use to lay my hand on your heart and pray that I could take the pain away
I would of carried all the weight I would of never let you fall
I wish I had the strength to break the legs of what took you away
You were never mine to save and I was never strong enough

So I just let you go

Now that you're gone
I hope you found peace now
Cause after all that we've been through
Its something I couldn't give you
Now that its over I hope you found closure
Cause after all that we've been through
Its something I couldn't give you

I used to wait till you would fall asleep and lay beside the bed and weep
Because I knew that you weren't mine to keep but I could never let you go
I would of given anything to try to keep you here with me
But I didn't have the things you need so I could never keep a home

And I just let you go

And I hate myself
For being human
What good are hearts if you cant use them?
And I hate myself
For being human
What good are hearts if you cant use them?

And I hate myself for being human
And I hate myself for being human
And I hate myself for being human
And I hate myself for being human
And I hate myself
For being human.

Say Your Last Goodbye

Nothing Further From Truth

Let It Bleed Again

Fallen Solider

Falling Down

So I just let you go

And I just let you go

And I hate myself
For being human
What good are hearts if you cant use them?
And I hate myself
For being human
What good are hearts if you cant use them?

And I hate myself for being human
And I hate myself for being human
And I hate myself for being human
And I hate myself for being human
And I hate myself
For being human.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

aww i love this song. i feel that its a song about a guy whos in mad love, but he knows it can't work. but no matter how hard he tries to move on or forget, he just can't seem to forget the feelings he has, and thinking of her just reminds him of what he'll never have...

defenetly top song to listen to...

It acctually reminds me of a death . it reminds me of my cousin who passed away this year and she had lukemia so she was in pain . and in the song it goes that he wants to take the pain away but he wasnt strong enough and he knew that he just had to let them go . because there was nothing he could do . it all fits for me , because it pretty much explains how i felt . especially now that your gone , i hope you find peace now . it just all goes .

this is an AMAZING song by an AMAZING band

Harlequin89- it fits with ''Because I knew that you were mine to keep'' because he wanted her to be happy with him, he wanted to save her, but couldn't.

i think of the first part of the song when my dads sick...
