PotO - "Human" (Erik ♥ Christine) - Phantom of the Opera / LND - a request

PLEASE READ (lyrics below)- by request (song & fandoms) for and from Lena Elizabeth Lily Selene Gold to Kimmy (Happy Birthday!) :) - a very cool song that fits E/C really well! Watch in HD for best experience - story follows lyrics, told mainly in Christine’s POV, but some in Erik’s too. “Only Human”- refers to their failings and pain, but also the dark passion and intense love they feel for each other… Christine fights her feelings for Erik, knowing that the Opera House expects her to be against him and on their side (especially Raoul) and she puts on a false front and pretense with him, like an obedient servant, though in her heart she remains faithful to Erik. The pressure on her is great, however, and at times she is weak and fails. When she’s with the Phantom passion explodes - angry and romantic - in a love she can no longer deny. Erik fights to keep Christine with him, desperately hoping she can see the man behind the monster - and look beyond his deformity and failings to see - that he’s only human…as is she.

Lyrics to “Human” performed by Christina Perri
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
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
I can do it
I can do it
I can do it
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
I can turn it on
Be a good machine
I can hold the weight of worlds
If that's what you need
Be your everything
I can do it
I can do it
I'll get through it
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
I'm only human
I'm only human
Just a little human
I can take so much
'Til I've had enough
'Cause 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
