Darling, how long, how long will I last? Oh, darling how long, how long will I last? Ain't got no future, I ain't got no past This people just continue to stare and glare This people just continue to stare and glare Now I know they're smiling, that don't make them my fans Nobody want me around Time to be leaving this headed-up town All I got's my past, how long will I last? People only say what you want to hear these days People only say what you want to hear these days Now you ain't got to put up with them, people got wicked, wicked way Nobody want me around Think I'll be leaving this headed-up town All I got's my past, how long will I last? How long will I last? How long will I last?

I don't know how or where to start Here we're standing again And I see now from where we are That our road has come to an end Though we've come this far I don't know why, but I still can't see who you are I don't want you to cry, don't want us to say goodbye But I know that we're falling apart I don't need your lies, and if you don't sympathize Tell me, how will I know who you are? It's too late now, but we've gone this far To see what's hidden within Though we said that we'd never part Maybe I've been trying too hard To believe in love I don't know why, but I still can't see who you are I don't want you to cry, don't want us to say goodbye But I know that we're falling apart I don't need your lies, and if you don't sympathize Tell me, how will I know who you are? Tell me, how will I know who you are? Don't worry, I promise it's for the better So I think we should let it go now And maybe we'll find (and maybe we'll find) love again I don't want you to cry (I don't want you to cry) but I know that (But I know that, know that we're falling, baby, I) Don't need (don't need no more lies), no (Tell me, darling, how will I know that? Baby, I) I don't want you to cry (don't want you to cry), don't want us to say goodbye (but I know that) But I know that we're falling apart (baby, I) I don't need your lies (don't need no more lies), and if you don't sympathize (tell me, darling) Tell me, how will I know who you are? Tell me, how will I know who you are? How will I know? Tell me, how will I know who you are?

Human, behave yourself You have burst at the seams Let it all fall out, opened your mouth Often I lie wide awake Think of things I can make But I don't seem to have the parts to build them Human, I wonder why You're a better make than I could ever build or create You know not love or hate I am so scared of what will kill me in the end For I am not prepared I hope I will get the chance To be someone, to be human Look what we've done Look what we've done I would give my life to be human I would give my life to be human I would give my life to be human I would give my life to be human Human, I'm trying to come clean I will be a better me I will not drink until I'm dead I'll make the most of it I don't know what it's like to be alive To say goodbye, to cry a thousand times Because my ears won't listen Human, I'm trying not to lose my faith in you I've sussed out all that I've seen through I've sailed an ocean I am so scared of what I'll look like in the end For I am not prepared I hope I will get the chance To be someone, to be human Look what we've done Look what we've done I would give my life to be human I would give my life to be human I would give my life to be human I would give my life to be human I used to hear it all so loud The sound of my heart breaking The truth is waiting to be found I trust that I will take it I would give my life I would give my life, human I would give my life, human I would give my life, human I would give my life to be human I would give my life to be human I would give my life to be human I would give my life to be human

You trembled like you'd seen a ghost And I gave in I lack the things you need the most, you said where have you been You wasted all that sweetness to run and hide I wonder why I remind you of the days you poured your heart into But you never tried I've fallen from grace Took a blow to my face I've loved and I've lost I've loved and I've lost Explosions, on the day you wake up Needing somebody and you've learned It's okay to be afraid But it will never be the same It will never be the same You left my soul bleeding in the dark So you could be king The rules you set are still untold To me and I lost my faith in everything The nights you could cope, your intentions were gold But the mountains will shake I need to know I can still make Explosions, on the day you wake up Needing somebody and you've learned It's okay to be afraid But it will never be the same And as the floods move in And your body starts to sink I was the last thing on your mind I know you better than you think 'Cause it's simple darling, I gave you a warning Now everything you own is falling from the sky in pieces So watch them fall with you, in slow motion I pray that you will find peace of mind And I'll find you another time I'll love you, another time Explosions, on the day you wake up Needing somebody and you've learned It's okay to be afraid But it will never be the same
