I can hold my breath
I can bite my tongue
I can stay awake for days
If that's what you want
Be your number one

As personifications of nations, they seem different from us humans.
However quite the contrary they are not.

I can fake a smile
I can force a laugh
I can dance and play the part
If that's what you ask
Give you all I am

Just like us, they smile, they frown, they laugh, they cry, and they are every bit like us.

I can do it
I can do it
I can do it

However... also like us... they make mistakes.

But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human

However this one particular mistake will end up costing them so much...
And it all started
because of one simple mistake.
