To be nobody but yourself in a world that is trying it's hardest every night and day to change you into everyone else is to fight the hardest battle a human being can fight, and never stop fighting.


You’re not a superhero, okay?
You don’t have a red cape, and if you jump off a building
You will fall, not fly.
You can’t move mountains, you can’t read my mind
And no matter how hard you try to be invisible I can still see you.
You can’t save everyone.

You’re not worthless, okay?
You don’t hurt everyone around you, and if you jumped off a building
I would try to catch you.
You aren’t insignificant, you aren’t stupid
And no matter how hard you try to be invisible I can still see you.
I’ll save you.

You’re not going to leave me, okay?
You don’t have to do this, and if you think I don’t care
You are wrong, completely wrong.
You can’t say goodbye like this, you can’t let life go
And no matter how hard you try I will not let you.
I’ll save you.


I’m not a superhero, okay?
I don’t wear a red cape, and when I jump off this building
I will fall, not fly.
I can’t move mountains, I couldn’t read your mind
And no matter how hard I try I always screw up.
I couldn’t save you.
