Superman

When I was 10 guess I didn't think he could die
But tonight he said his goodbyes and I watched Superman die
When I was 10 years old he was all that I needed
All his superpowers made it hard to defeat him
No matter what he'd say I could always believe him
Now he looks like this and he smells like shit
Guess I really should've known no one could be perfect
I just thought he was cool and that he'd think we're worth it
Now he's running out breath trying to prove he's perfect
Guess I really should've known from
The smell of the liquor
And his days getting quicker
And his pride it was blinding
And that's why you'd find me at 10
Still thinking that he couldn't die
But tonight he said his goodbyes
And I could see the change in his eyes and
By then he could barely even fly
Maybe I just needed more time
Before I watched Superman die
He was 6'2, but he's shorter than me now
He could stop a train, but now he's kind of a let down
Oh, the things he'd say, but they're no longer profound
'Cause he thinks like this and he talks too much shit
Oh, the things he says to the girls who believe him
It's a messed up thing to think I wanted to be him
I'm just tryin' to figure out how to keep the poison out
So it never really sinks in
Like the smell of the liquor
And his days getting quicker
And his pride it was blinding
And that's why you'd find me at 10
Still thinking that he couldn't die
But tonight he said his goodbyes
And I could see the change in his eyes
And by then he could barely even fly
Maybe I just needed more time
Before I watched Superman die
His eyes look tired like they're no longer with us
And he's been rewired and he won't try to fix this
And he's in denial that he's gonna see Jesus
'Cause he's just too strong to think he's wrong
And I'm not one to say it, but I know that I'll miss him
And every day I'll do my best to forgive him
I'm just tryin' to figure out how to keep the poison out
So it never really sinks in
Like when I was 10 and I didn't think he could die
But tonight we said our goodbyes and I watched Superman die
