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 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 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
