[Verse 1]
Sand all my edges down
Turn my silence into sound
If I’m broken in your eyes
Tell me how to make it right

You trace the scar lines across my skin
Like they’re flaws I’m living in
But every scar is where I’ve been
It’s proof I stayed alive

[Pre-Chorus]
You see black and white
I see the gray
What you get is who I am
Is that enough for you to stay

[Chorus]
I’m not made with perfection
I’ve got a body full of scars
You see only one perspective
I see things for what they are
You want the highlight reel
But this is who I’ve been
I’m not a flawless photograph
I’m only human
I’m only human

I’ve got a heart full of scars
And that makes me human
I’m only human

[Verse 2]
You want the clean-cut story
No cracks, no categories
But pain don’t come in symmetry
And neither do I

I’m not the filter you apply
Not the lens you modify
I’m the truth you can’t deny
I was made by design

[Pre-Chorus]
You see black and white
I see the gray
I can’t pretend to be what I’m not
Is that enough for you to stay

[Chorus]
I’m not made with perfection
I’ve got a body full of scars
You see only one perspective
I see things for what they are
You want the highlight reel
But this is who I’ve been
I’m not a flawless photograph
I’m only human
I’m only human

I’ve got a heart full of scars
And that makes me human
I’m only human

[Bridge]
If you want a hero
Find it in someone else
If you want the real me
Take me
Take me
Take me as myself

[Chorus]
I’m not a flawless photograph
I’m only human
I’m only human
I’ve got a heart full of scars
And that makes me human
I’m only human

[End tag]
I’m only human

No intention, other than my point earlier was ignored.

Work on the basics first...

Your not Billy Joel?

I’m only human

Billy Joel only human...

Im only human.. born to make mistakes. , human league

Hundreds of songs that say the same thing,

And kind of a laundry list...

I'm not Billy Joel. I'm not anyone else. I'm me. I said it my way. Not sure what your intentions are, but I have my own style. I'm not trying to write like anyone else. Don't need your praise. Don't need your disdain. Not in it for the chase. Only writing out my pain.

Your not billy joel?

No intention other than my point about encouraging all to work on the basics first.

The odd thing is having a song about beng human, and using Ai to record it and a video.

Meant no malice, glad to have you here, will you be here in a week?

Im frankly ready to roll out indefinitely

Well back to Ai, I don't think anybody here has recorded more songs using Ai using my lyrics to trigger music.

Talking in the 100s.

It exceeded my expectations by thousands, I did not envision it could do such a good job.

Limitations are that there's no true identity of yiurself in it, thank God I used my lyrics, but when some englsh guy is singing, something seems off.

I write what matters to me, I am not able to write without a reason to.

I come from a singer songwriter background, and Ai sometimes leaves me estranged from my own stuff.

So I am impressed by it, it has a long long way to go, but one want to 8nck7de more of myself into it, including the recording.

After a little hiatus I will begin usingil ai as a band and producer and less as a courier, although it did come up with some cool bits for songs that I probably wouldn't have.

The point is its not Ai, its still your art
