Idle Worship
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Standing here like I'm supposed to say something
Don't hold your breath
I never said I'd save you, honey
And I don't want your money
If I was you, I'd run from me or rip me open
You'll see you're not the only one who's hopeless
Be sure to put your faith in something more
I'm just a girl and you're not as alone as you feel
We all got problems, don't we?
We all need heroes, don't we?
But rest assured, there's not a single person here who's worthy
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Don't let me let you down
Hey baby, I'm not your superhuman
And if that's what you want
I hate to let you down
I got your hopes up
Now I got you hoping
That I'm gonna be the one to let you down
Oh, it's such a long and awful lonely fall
Down from this pedestal that you keep putting me on
What if I fall on my face?
What if I make a mistake?
If it's okay a little grace would be appreciated
Remember how we used to like ourselves?
What little light that's left
We need to keep it sacred
I know that you're afraid to let all the dark escape ya
But we can let the light illuminate these hopeless places
Oh, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Just let me let you down
Hey baby, I'm not your superhuman
And if that's what you want
I hate to let you down
I got your hopes up
Now I got you hoping
That I'm gonna be the one to let you down
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, no, I ain't your hero
You're wasting all your faith on me
Oh, no, I know where this goes
Think it's safe to say that your savior doesn't look a thing like me
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Don't let me let you down
Hey baby, I'm not your superhuman
And if that's what you want
I hate to let you down
I got your hopes up
Now I got you hoping
That I'm gonna be the one to let you down
Hey baby, I'm not your superhuman
And if that's what you want
I hate to let you down
I got your hopes up
Now I got you hoping
That I'm gonna be the one to let you down!
