My love, I wish I could be your superman
But no matter how hard I try, I can’t
My heart aches, and I feel so alone
My efforts all seem to come to nought
I want to be the one to make you smile
But I can’t, no matter how hard I try
My love, I’m just a mere mortal man
I can’t fly, no matter how I try
I can’t be the one to save you
I can’t be the one to make it alright
So I’ll just stand here in the dark
And lament all the things that I can’t fight
My love, I wish I could be your superman
But no matter how hard I try, I can’t
