Maybe I'm blind
Thinking I can see through this
And see what's behind
Got no way to prove it
So maybe I'm lying
But I'm only human after all,
I'm only human after all
Don't put your blame on me
Don't put your blame on me
Take a look in the mirror
And what do you see?
Do you see it clearer
Or are you deceived
In what you believe?
'Cause I'm only human after all,
You're only human after all
Don't put the blame on me
Don't put your blame on me
Some people got the real problems
Some people out of luck
Some people think I can solve them
Lord heavens above
I'm only human after all,
I'm only human after all
Don't put the blame on me
Don't put the blame on me
Don't ask my opinion,
Don't ask me to lie
Then beg for forgiveness
For making you cry,
For making you cry
'Cause I'm only human after all,
I'm only human after all
Don't put your blame on me,
Don't put the blame on me
Some people got the real problems
Some people out of luck
Some people think I can solve them
Lord heavens above
I'm only human after all,
I'm only human after all
Don't put the blame on me
Don't put the blame on me
I'm only human, I make mistakes
I'm only human that's all it takes
To put the blame on me
Don't put the blame on me
'Cause I'm no prophet or messiah
You should go looking somewhere higher
I'm only human after all,
I'm only human after all
Don't put the blame on me,
Don't put the blame on me
I'm only human, I do what I can
I'm just a man, I do what I can
Don't put the blame on me
Don't put your blame on me

Rory Charles Graham (born 29 January 1985), known professionally as Rag'n'Bone Man, is an English singer. He is known for his deep baritone voice. His first hit single, "Human", was released in 2016, and his debut album of the same name was released in 2017. The album became the fastest selling debut album by a male for the decade and has since achieved 4× Platinum certification. At the 2017 Brit Awards, he was named British Breakthrough Act and received the Critics' Choice Award and went on to receive a further Brit Award for Best British Single, with the title track in 2018.
Following the album's success, Rag'n'Bone Man has performed at headline shows and festivals around the globe and has collaborated with a variety of artists from different genres, including Bugzy Malone (with the track "Run"), Logic (with the song "Broken People" for the soundtrack of Netflix film Bright) and Calvin Harris (with Brit Award-nominated and Ivor Novello Award-winning single "Giant").
In January 2021, Graham released "All You Ever Wanted", the lead single from his second studio album Life by Misadventure. He then collaborated with Pink for the second single from the album, "Anywhere Away from Here". The album was originally set to be released on 23 April 2021, but was postponed to 7 May 2021.
Life by Misadventure debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and spent seven weeks in the top 10, making it the fastest-selling album by a solo artist in 2021 and gaining Gold certification in the UK.
Graham appeared as Rag'n'Bone Man in an episode of BBC One's EastEnders on 23 December 2022 when he performed a rendition of "God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen" as part of a carol concert in the square in front of cast members.
I'm not sure that's the point of these lyrics, though. Doesn't appear to me to be trying to excuse his own mistake(s), but rather saying there's only so much he can do about things.
Dear idiots - fuck off. Your interpretation of this song is just that. You think someone is talking about something you know nothing about. Again fuck off. Take that ignorant fucking head and stick it right up your ass. Yeah you tinypriest… insecure smooth brains
This is RP, not anti-social media. Keep it civil, please.
Take responsibility for your life.

I concur. To me it sounds like he is advising everyone to take responsibility for themselves and their actions, while recognizing his own limitations. A fine example of an ancient and practical philosophy.
This guy sure has soul but I wish other songs would get airtime as this one is a bit cliched now.
Uckfield, even. Less street you cannot be.
Yeah. He had a word with God and specifically requested the town where he was born.

It seems that he is singing from the God's perspective. He [God] is the one that makes you cry, that he is the one that you put the blame on. And the line "Lord heavens above" comes from the first person view, so it fits well.
Changes the whole dynamic of the song. And what an excellent execution!.
It all stays the same,
Everyone guilty,
No one to blame"

some people around here slagging off other people whose interpretation of this, and other songs, does not align with their own, would do well to remember that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. If a song means something to you, then that's what it means (to you). That's all. Peace people, please!
Long live RP!
