Authors Note: As much as I hate to even think about destiny this story takes place after that evil word. And it changes point of views often, but it's easy to tell who's talking.
I play a good game
But not as good as you
I can be a little cold
But you can be so cruel
I'm not made of brick
I'm not made of stone

We've always fought. But I can't take much more of it. Sure it's how we communicate, but it's just to hard to deal with Michael when he gets all cold and mean. And that stone wall attitude isn't helping either.

But I had you fooled enough to take me on
If love was a war
It's you who has won
While I was confessing it
You held your tongue
Now the damage is done

I guess I never really show how much I care about her. But that's the way I am. I always mess everything up. We've always fought, and it'll always be like that. I never expected to fall in love with her. She just had that affect on me I guess. Maria just got under my skin. I shouldn't have told her I love her. She doesn't even feel the same way about me. Otherwise she would have said it. Well, I guess I didn't give her a chance. I ran away. Again.

Well there's blood in these veins
and I cry when in pain
I'm only human on the inside

I cry over him all the time. It doesn't show, but I do. At night, when I'm alone in my room. Why does he always push me away? Does he really love me? Even if he doesn't, I'll still love him to the end.

And if looks could deceive
Make it hard to believe
I'm only human on the inside

Why should someone like me deserve to be with her? I'm just some weird alien with wild hair. I don't even deserve love. But I do love her. I love her so much it scares me. I don't know what I would do if something ever happened to her...

I thought you'd come through
I thought you'd come clean
You were the best thing I should never have seen
But you go to extremes
and push me to far

I thought she would tell me I love you. But Maria didn't. See, I don't deserve her. She's this angelic pixie girl that I'm lucky enough to know. She deserves better. But when Maria does want to be with me, it scares me. Why would she want to be with me? So I run. I get afraid. Nothing ever good happens to me. I don't want to hurt her. I'm this freak with weird powers that I can't control. So I run some more.

Then you could go until you break my heart
Yeah you break my heart

Everytime he runs he breaks my heart. Does Michael even realize this? I know he wants to protect me and not let anything happen to me, but he's doing the opposite. He's hurting me more now when he runs.

See I bleed and I bruise
Oh, but what's it to you
I'm only human on the inside

Does Michael truly care about me? I mean, he keeps running away from happiness...

And if looks could deceive
Make it hard to believe
I'm only human on the inside
I crash and I burn
Maybe someday you'll learn
I'm only human on the inside

I guess I am capable of love. And Maria loves me too. She must love me. She didn't say it but her actions speak louder than words. She'll always be there for me, even though I keep running away.

I stumble I fall
Baby, under it all
I'm only human on the inside

Maria and Michael are two lost souls that are miserable without each other. Sometimes they're just to stubborn to say it.

And the damage is done
Well there's blood in these veins
and I cry when in pain
I'm only human on the inside

I guess I'll always love him. I admit it now. I'll never let him go, even though he keeps pushing me away.

And if looks could deceive
Make it hard to believe
I'm only human on the inside
I crash and I burn
Maybe someday you'll learn
I'm only human on the inside

How could I do something like this? I've been causing her so much pain every time I run away. How could I not see this sooner? I just wanted to protect her. Even though I'm some alien that doesn't deserve love, I still care about her deeply. I'm going to go back to her.

I stumble I fall
Baby, under it all
I'm only human on the inside

Michael and Maria both can't stand to be away from each other for another minute. They can't live without each other. They are after all the same and human on the inside.
