"superhero" lyrics

We stayed up 'til 3 AM
You were on the edge and I held your hand
Walked you back in, laid you down
Kissed you on your crown
I put on your favorite show
Fast-forwarded to the episode
That makes you smile, that makes you laugh
But do you know me like that?

Bend and stretch like I won't break
Test my limits with your pain
I'd give you everything you take
You overestimate my strength

Like I'm a superhero
When you've fallen to your knees
You call me when you feel low
And you're desperate to believe
And I can't sleep, I can't breathe
Still, you lay it all on me
Like I'm your superhero
But I can't even save myself from me

I've been through hell and back
You always say you couldn't handle that
You think I'm special, made of light
But I just know the fight
I wish you could see me
For the person underneath
I wish you'd hold me, I wish you'd lie
And tell me everything's alright

Like I'm a superhero
When you've fallen to your knees
You call me when you feel low
And you're desperate to believe
And I can't sleep, I can't breathe
Still, you lay it all on me
Like I'm your superhero
But I can't even save myself from me

Who will hear me crying out for help?
'Cause I'm done running, running from myself

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
