Living in the city where the walls have ears.

People judge you by the words they hear.

People see you and they turn their heads,

whisper words you might have said.

Point to a spot where you may have bled.

He lost his mind today, she threw his clothes 
away.

And who knows whose heart was broke first.

Am7                   G
No one gives them the love they need,

   Bm                       C
or helps them through their time of grief.

Am                     G          Bm
After all, it could be you or me, we're just human 

      C
after all.
