Human Being Lyrics by Jean Alter

2022

[Hook]
I knew that you wouldn’t supply me with the things that I wanted
I knew that I should’ve backed off

[Verse 1]
But I didn’t, I wanted to see
A future where you are with me
I couldn’t see you the way you were
But nobody here is keeping score
Something’s between us
Maybe it’s your weakness
Your energy’s a jeopardy

[Chorus]
And I don’t need a star
To tell me that we will never be a thing
And I know what you are
You’re a human being
With feelings that aren’t for me

[Hook]
And I knew that you wouldn’t supply me with the things that I wanted
I knеw that I should’ve backed off

[Verse 2]
Gave you my hеart, just because
I wanted to start a brand new love
But it’s dark, and it’s hard
But I want what I want, and I want you

[Chorus]
And I don’t need a star
To tell me that we will never be a thing
And I know what you are
You’re a human being
With feelings that aren’t for me

[Hook/Outro]
I knew
(I knew, I knew)
That you wouldn’t supply me with the things that I wanted
I knew
(I knew, I knew)
That I should’ve backed off
(Should’ve backed off, Oh-oh-oh)
I knew
(Don’t need a star)
That you wouldn’t supply me
(You wouldn’t supply me)
I knew
(Know what you are)
That I should’ve backed off
I should’ve backed off
