i'm only human
this perky girl
with a smile
for the world

struck by life's
uncertainty
i fear and defend
i can't pretend

yes, im tired
i lost this fight
and im mad
that it happened tonight

blood was drawn all week
from this drained body
i couldn't seem to give enough
its never enough

i wasn't sensitive
i wasn't perky
i wasn't sexy
i wasn't loving

you're a thinker
analzying complex issues
the fate of the nation
cluing me in to impeding tragedy

and i feel the weight
so heavy i want to cry
my head so full
my words come out like bullets

its not me
i am the easy thought
the gentle breeze
the walk on the beach

if you can love me
for me
then i can be this for you
and not a reflection of yourself
because i am not you
and if i try to be
i will surely fail.
