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

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
