Almost Human Lyrics

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 i wouldn't cry
but since i'm not a big boy i have to cry

what did i ever do so wrong that you should cast me from grace?
though i love to rule from hell, here
how i miss the taste of heaven
it's 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
i'm just like you, 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, made by he
despised by they, i'm almost me
i'm nearly human
pity me, i'm almost a human being

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

i'm just like you, 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

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
