Superman Songtext
von Russ

I′m sorry I can't be Superman
I know that that′s just not in your plans
But you gotta save yourself
I just can't keep swoopin' in (no)
Death of a hero, I′m hangin′ up the cape
And you, you gotta save yourself 'cause I can′t save you

Can't save you ′cause it shields you from the reality of your decision-making
I'm a lifeline, not a hotline, I need boundaries and individuation
′Cause I'm wrapped up in y'all′s problems, ask Russ, he gon′ solve them
But I'm over it, I can′t shoulder it, y'all′s rock just hit rock bottom
I'm goin′ off the grid, Adele said she ain't lost, she is just wanderin'
I′m honoring myself and that′s a first for me
I worked so hard to make it work, but it just doesn't work for me anymore, anymore


I′m sorry I can't be Superman
I know that that′s just not in your plans
But you gotta save yourself
I just can't keep swoopin′ in (no)
Death of a hero, I'm hangin' up the cape
And you, you gotta save yourself ′cause I can′t save you

But I do know one thing though, give a grand, they gon' need one more
Saturday through Sunday, Monday (Monday), Monday through Sunday, yo
But I do know one thing though, give a grand, they gon′ need one more
Saturday through Sunday, Monday (Monday), Monday through Sunday, yo

I don't hate you, I just don′t know how to love you
Without feeling responsible to save you
Deep down, I wanna trust you
But swoopin' in says the opposite, and it robs you of your competence
And I don′t want us to resent each other 'fore it's too late, let′s respect each other, oh

I′m sorry I can't be Superman
I know that that′s just not in your plans
But you gotta save yourself
I just can't keep swoopin′ in (no)
Death of a hero, I'm hangin′ up the cape
And you, you gotta save yourself 'cause I can't save you

I′m sorry I can′t be Superman
I know that that's just not in your plans
