People have been talking, and they’re saying funny things
They tell her who she is—who she is supposed to be
She sees that they will define her by the head-turning words they’ve heard
But they don’t understand that that’s not her
Pride is an idol that is idling her dreams
It says she’s a failure unless she does these great things like
Win on Wall Street or run the country or finally find the cure
But they don’t understand that that’s not her
She is life that is lived with a fire in the heart
She is passion and purpose and she won’t give up
She is more than a name but less than the ones she loves
Every day a heart beats, every day a heart stops
Every day she loses a little of the life that she wants
She is only human, and let that be enough
Life is a tightrope and it’s hard to keep your feet
It’s balance and progress, but it’s slow and in between—see
Life is too short to take the fast road or live for less than you’re worth
And if you know her then you know that that’s not her
She is life that is lived with a fire in the heart
She is passion and purpose and she won’t give up
She is more than a name but less than the ones she loves
Every day a heart beats, every day a heart stops
Every day she loses a little of the life that she wants
She is only human, and let that be enough
People keep talking, but she’s not listening anymore
People keep talking, but it’s about time she shuts that door
People keep talking, but she’s not listening anymore
People keep talking, but it’s about time she shuts that door
People keep talking, but she’s not listening anymore
People keep talking, but it’s about time she shuts that door
People keep talking, but she’s not listening anymore
She's not listening, she's not listening
She is life that is lived with a fire in the heart
She is passion and purpose and she won’t give up
She is more than a name but less than the ones she loves
Every day a heart beats, every day a heart stops
Every day she loses a little of the life that she wants
She is only human, and let that be—
She is only human, so let her be
She is only human, and let that be enough
