Every night I look for the light in the sky,
A signal to let me know you need me.
But lately I don't hear your cry,
I'm patiently waiting, don't you see?
I was there to catch you,
Countless times, every time.
I came to your rescue,
Because saving you was the only thing on my mind.
And maybe I'm obsolete,
That person you don't wanna see.
If I let you down, please speak,
'Cause I can't wait around to be...
I'll just hang my cape up in the closet until the day you're sure you need me,
I can't keep flying around in circles getting it dirty.
Thought I was Superman, wore the symbol of hope on my chest,
Because you once told me I was the very best.
I understand you have problems, but you never let me in,
If I'm not a hero, does that make me the villain?
I'm always waiting by the phone,
Predicting when you just might dial my number.
Instead, you would rather be all alone,
Contemplating your struggles as you fall into a slumber.
The only thing you gotta do is give me a call,
You know I'll be right there at a moment's notice.
I promised I would never ever let you fall,
I take every promise I make serious.
There must be a way,
That I can save you today.
But if my intentions became too stray,
Then I only have one thing to say...
I'll just hang my cape up in the closet until the day you're sure you need me,
I can't keep flying around in circles getting it dirty.
Thought I was Superman, wore the symbol of hope on my chest,
Because you once told me I was the very best.
I understand you have problems, but you never let me in,
If I'm not a hero, does that make me the villain?
I wait at the top of this skyscraper,
Wishing this scene would just be over.
I'd fly away, so far away if I really could,
But heroes don't give up on something so pure and good.
I guess I got a little too attached when I knew not too,
There's just something so unique about you.
I just don't get it, I don't understand,
Why you decided not to take my helping hand?
I apologize I tried so hard to show,
How through my eyes, you glow.
I guess I just wanted to you know,
That I never wanted to go.
But...
I'll just hang my cape up in the closet until the day you're sure you need me,
I can't keep flying around in circles getting it dirty.
Thought I was Superman, wore the symbol of hope on my chest,
Because you once told me I was the very best.
I understand you have problems, but you never let me in,
If I'm not a hero, does that make me the villain?
If I'm not a hero, does that make me the villain?
Oh, yeah.
I'm not a villain, I know,
But I'm also not a hero...
