You're broken and bruised,
Such a shame, there's nothing I can do.
My secrets you know I can't tell,
Wish I could be there when you scream and yell.
You're looking for a hero and I'm not it,
I would do anything to be what you needed.
Look up at the sky, I won't appear,
Trapped in my solitude of fear.
Even I have a weakness to leave me in the dirt,
I'm so sorry that you got hurt...
I can't be your Superman,
I wasn't fast enough to grab your hand.
You fell so far and hit the ground,
Can't believe I would be the one to let you down.
I stand for hope and I gained your trust,
Failed when saving you is a must.
I can't be your Superman,
Because I can't even help you safely land.
It's best that you let me go,
I'm not fit to be your hero...
Been watching you from this skyscraper,
Trying to be the guardian angel on your shoulder.
You're dropping tears on the concrete sidewalk,
Pushing past the people as they begin to talk.
I'm supposed to be invulnerable but that isn't right,
Seeing your pain is my kryptonite.
Spending the night on your own and alone,
Run your fingers over my number but you don't phone.
I'm not the hero you think I am under this shirt,
If I'm your savior, why did you get hurt?
I can't be your Superman,
I wasn't fast enough to grab your hand.
You fell so far and hit the ground,
Can't believe I would be the one to let you down.
I stand for hope and I gained your trust,
Failed when saving you is a must.
I can't be your Superman,
Because I can't even help you safely land.
It's best that you let me go,
I'm not fit to be your hero...
The world hasn't ended just yet,
Time is still ticking, don't forget.
I'm running as fast as my feet will carry me,
It's only you my eyes can see.
I disappointed you more times than I can count,
I'm praying I can turn my actions around.
Guess I'm too late, you've given up hope that I'll save the day,
I'm sorry I couldn't be your Superman to guide your way...
I can't be your Superman,
I wasn't fast enough to grab your hand.
You fell so far and hit the ground,
Can't believe I would be the one to let you down.
I stand for hope and I gained your trust,
Failed when saving you is a must.
I can't be your Superman,
Because I can't even help you safely land.
It's best that you let me go,
I'm not fit to be your hero...
