Lyrics
Here is the love, now it's not there
The love that was once present is now absent.
Never enough, why must they stare?
Despite efforts, it's never sufficient, and the scrutiny of others is unsettling.
Here is the love, at least for a day
Love is fleeting, lasting only for a day.
Runs out like food, when you can't pay
Love disappears abruptly, akin to running out of food when unable to pay for it.
I'm looking the part, but I'm lacking the heart
Externally, I appear the part, but internally, I lack genuine emotion.
Is there a reason that I shouldn't tell you right from the start?
Questioning whether there is a reason to not disclose true feelings right from the beginning.
Don't come near me
Expressing a desire for distance.
I am only human
Acknowledging human vulnerabilities and limitations.
Here is the love, don't point it at me
Love is present but shouldn't be directed towards the speaker.
Making me feel the things I should be
Inducing emotions that the speaker feels they should not be experiencing.
Here is the love
Reiterating the presence of love.
It's here in the crowd
Love is among the crowd.
(crowd you're loud)
The crowd is loud, possibly representing external pressures.
getting too close
Proximity to the crowd is becoming overwhelming.
I need to get out
A need to distance oneself from the intense crowd.
Don't come near me
Reiterating the desire for distance.
I am only human
Restating human vulnerability and limitations.
Don't you know I'm only human
Emphasizing the human nature of the speaker.
Only Human
Highlighting the inherent humanity of the speaker, with its strengths and weaknesses.
