I was sittin' there in a kitchen chair
Worries on my mind
I looked up from my coffee cup
And saw that you were cryin'

Reached my hands across the table
To let you know my love was strong
But I couldn't think of a thing to say
Except the words to this old song:

Our laughter has a touch of pain
Like flowers need the touch of rain
And the sweetest songs we sing are always sad
We hurt the ones we love, and then
When forgiven, hurt again
And we always want the things that we can't have

We look ahead, we look behind
But when we look inside, we find
We value life the most just before we die
So if we stumble, if we fall
We're only human after all
The best that you and I can do is try

We look ahead, we look behind
But when we look inside, we find
We value life the most just before we die
So if we stumble, if we fall
We're only human after all
The best that you and I can do is try
The best that you and I can do is try
