teaching a robot to love

Prop you up before I turn you off Check your chest to see the broken parts All my fingers through your holographic heart All systems down Operation 792 I'll paint your wires bloody red and blue I'll try whatever to good night to you, but you shut me out Can you even feel? Do you even register my touch? Will you ever be able to love me someday? I know you're made of steel But does it even hurt to see me bleed? Will you ever know what it means to be human? (I don't know how) I've been holding all the evidence Cold and coded and expressionless Artificial unintelligence, don't pull the plug I could've sworn I caught you crying once (crying once) Or maybe I just made that up But I'ma love you 'til they pick apart my skin and bones Replace my heart with lithium and maybe we'll relate for once Can you even feel? Do you even register my touch? Will you ever be able to love me someday? (I don't know how) I know you're made of steel (steel, steel) But does it even hurt to see me bleed? Will you ever know what it means to be human? (I don't know how) To touch, feel, love I don't know how to be human To touch, feel, love I don't know how to be (to be) human (human) To touch, feel (feel), love I don't know how to be I don't know how
