Lyrics
Superman
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.
If I could break away half of all your pain
I'd take the worst of it, and carry you like you carry me
You say that you're alright when tears are in your eyes
We're strong enough for this and I need you
It's okay that you need me
So put your armor on the ground tonight
'Cause everyone's got to come down sometimes
You don't have to be Superman
You don't have to be Superman
You don't have to hold the world in your hands
You've already shown me that you can
Don't have to be Superman
I know I've been gone too much
We talk about me too much
I'm selfish and distracted, but I'm here
I'm here and I'm listening
And It's just you and me and these four walls
And we are only human after all
You don't have to be Superman
You don't have to be Superman
You don't have to hold the world in your hands
You've already shown me that you can
Don't have to be Superman
And oh
You rest your eyes now, take my hands
Even heroes fall down now and then
You can let it go
You don't have to be Superman
You don't have to be Superman
You don't have to hold the world in your hands
You've already shown me that you can
Don't have to be Superman
You don't have to be Superman
