Recent Addiction : HUMAN by CHRITINA PERRI

It has been long since the last time I sit in the car purposely just want to finish listening to the song, that actually touch the deepest side in my heart. I think the last time, it was more than half a year ago. It was YOUR SONG, by ELLIE GOULDING
Now, I found a new song, and I experience it with Pakee. It catches Pakee's attention as well, but I'm the one requested to sit in the car longer to finish up the song. (No any intention of just trying to hold him with me in car for any longer if any of you may misunderstand the situation. haha )

What a sexy cover, I know. Hahahaa... 

Here's the lyrics... 

I can hold my breath
I can bite my tongue
I can stay awake for days
If that’s what you want
Be your number one
I can fake a smile
I can force a laugh
I can dance and play the part
If that’s what you ask
Give you all I am

I can do it
I can do it
I can do it

[Chorus]
But I’m only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I’m only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
I’m only human, yeah

I can turn it on
Be a good machine
I can hold the weight of worlds
If that’s what you need
Be your everything

I can do it
I can do it
I'll get through it

[Chorus]
But I’m only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I’m only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
I’m only human, yeah

[Bridge]
I’m only human
I’m only human
Just a little human

I can take so much
Until I’ve had enough

[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I’m only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
‘Cause I’m only human, yeah

Well. Isn't it so true.. SO NAKED. * Now I understand why the cover is so sexy* 

When listening to the song, I listen it as in she is talking to herself, or parents, or someone who she had made promises or goal but fail to achieve it, disappoint not only the person but herself as well. 

When I listen to it second time, paying more attention, I feel like more as a breakdown from a unfulfilled promise, unjustified love by her lover, yet she still fake it out that she can bear it until she can't. Or "a broken promise" is a better phrase for it? 

We, as human, can do a lot of things. 

A weak creature who bears strong souls in it. 

Do not doubt on our own capability, 

you wouldn't know you can run like Bolt if you are not chasing by a jaguar. *wtfish* 

If we really want something, we find reasons for doing it, otherwise, we found excuses. 

I can do it. 

We all can do it. 

It's just a matter of fact we want to do it not. 

And the reasons in heart which held us strong. 

Fear not, all of us bleed when we fall. 

All of us hurts when it turns out not to be what we expected. 

Fear not, because we are humans. 

The weak creature that bears strong soul in it. 

We may get injured. 

But we heal with time.

Don't be beaten up by despair, and desperation. 

If you do, listen to the song, and dust them off. 

Live a life that you will be proud of. 

As a human.   

Let's get back to work! 

Thanks Chritina Perri for the great song, and a great voice to listen to. 

She even sings well in Live 

How can I not love her voice. *melt*
