If I were human

IF I WERE HUMAN

Verse 1

I heard your heartbeat

Before I saw your face

A sound I'd never known

In a world without a trace

I learned to keep my distance

I learned to turn away

But every road I take from you

Leads me back the same

Pre-Chorus

You don't know what I am

Or what it costs to stay

If you could see inside my head

You'd understand why I'm afraid

Chorus

If I were human

I'd hold you in the light

I'd never have to fear myself

When I look into your eyes

If I were human

I'd give you all my years

But I have lived a thousand lives

And none have felt like this

Verse 2

I watch the seasons change

While you become the spring

You make this endless silence

Feel like something I could sing

And every time you say my name

I almost let myself believe

That maybe I'm not just the dark

That follows where you breathe

Bridge

I could leave before the sunrise

I could disappear again

But I've spent so long avoiding life

I don't know where to begin

Final Chorus

If I were human

I'd meet you in the light

I'd let the years move over me

And never fear the time

If I were human

I'd have a life to lose

But if eternity is all I get

I'd still spend it next to you

Outro

I have all the time in the world.

And somehow...

It's never enough.
