Almost Human lyrics

[Verse 1]
What did I ever do to you
That you should treat me this way?
Is it really such a crime for an angel to speak his mind?
In time, I'll try to shed some light
If I were a big boy
Then I wouldn't cry
But since I'm not a big boy
I have to cry

[Verse 2]
What did I ever do so wrong
That you should cast me from grace?
Though I love to rule in Hell here
How I miss the taste of Heaven, its soft and cool embrace
If I were a big boy
I wouldn't cry
But since I'm not a big boy
I'll have to close my eyes and picture what it's like

[Chorus]
I'm just like you, I'm made by He
Despised by they - I'm almost me
I'm nearly human
Look at me, I'm almost a human being
I'm just like you, I'm made by He
Despised by they - I'm almost me
I'm nearly human
Pity me, I'm almost a human being
[Verse 3]
I still remember your light
And it was streaming down
And burning out my eyes
If I were a big boy
I wouldn't cry
But since I'm not a big boy
I'll have to close my eyes and picture what it's like

[Chorus]
I'm just like you, I'm made by He
Despised by they - I'm almost me
I'm nearly human
Look at me, I'm almost a human being
These tears are real - I'm jealousy
I'm spite and hate, to the core, I'm mean
I'm nearly human
Look at me, I'm almost a human being
I'm just like you, better than He
To Hell with they - I'm almost me
I'm nearly human
Pity me, I'm almost a human being

[Outro]
Don't touch me, oh
I couldn't bear the thought of it, now
Don't touch me
Oh, I couldn't bear the strain
Don't touch me, oh
I couldn't bear the thought of it, now
Touch me, touch me, touch me
Don't touch me, touch me, touch me
