[Verse 1]
To have learned a lot
But not enough
To have loved a few
Perhaps too much
To have never truly understood
How to be human

[Verse 2]
To feel like crying
But say your fine
To think your losing
All the time
To never truly know your mind
Is how to be human

[Pre-Chorus]
Light it up
Set yourself on fire
Don't look down
You're on a tightrope wire
Light it up
You may as well

[Chorus]
How to be
How to be human
Just to breathe
And to bleed
Is how to be human
[Verse 3]
To be so young
But have no time
To blame bad luck
But never have tried
To just feel cruelly misaligned
Is how to be human

[Pre-Chorus]
Light it up
Set yourself on fire
Don't look down
You're on a tightrope wire
Light it up
You may as well

[Chorus]
How to be
How to be human
Just to breathe
And to bleed
Is human

[Bridge]
When yourself’s not good enough
When the world has asked too much
Is the real joke on us?
Ah, ah, ooh-ah
When yourself's not good enough
When the world has asked too much
Is the real joke on us?
Ah, ah, ah, ah
[Chorus]
How to be
How to be human
Just to breathe
And to bleed
Is human
How to be
How to be human
Just to breathe
And to bleed
Is how to be human
