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
