[Verse 1]
We were close
We were close, I would go
Take a bullet to my head
You should know
You should know, you were my bro
Always had your back
At the least, we coulda talked about it
But you found another way to get around it
Had to let you go, let you go
You don't get another chance
When your hero hits the ground

[Chorus]
Why'd you have to be human?
And let me think you were perfect, but I don't know now
How could you do it?
Building me up just to bring me back down
Had all these visions in my head
And I thought you were a friend
Why'd you have to be human?
Building me up just to let me down

[Post-Chorus]
Just to let me down, down, down
D-down, down, d-down
Down, down, down, d-down
[Verse 2]
I was young
I was young, I was dumb
Now I'm putting up these walls
Smartened up
Smartened up, now I'm done
Watching all my idols fall
When your hero hits the ground

[Chorus]
Why'd you have to be human?
And let me think you were perfect, but I don't know now
How could you do it?
Building me up just to bring me back down
Had all these visions in my head
And I thought you were a friend
Why'd you have to be human?
Building me up just to let me down

[Post-Chorus]
Just to let me down, down, down
D-down, down, d-down
Down, down, down, d-down
Why you'd have to be human?
Down, down, down, d-down
Down, down, down, d-down
[Bridge]
Why you'd have to be human?
At the least we coulda talked about it
But you found another way to get around it
At the least we coulda talked about it

[Chorus]
Why'd you have to be human?
And let me think you were perfect, but I don't know now
How could you do it?
Building me up just to bring me back down
Had all these visions in my head
And I thought you were a friend
Why'd you have to be human?
Building me up just to let me down

[Post-Chorus]
Just to let me down, down, down
Just to let me down, down, down
Why you'd have to be human?
Down, down, down, d-down
Down, down, down, d-down
Why you'd have to be human?
