Lyrics Rachel Platten

Rachel Platten

Superman

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 sometime

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 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

Rest your eyes now, take my hand

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
