Superman

(album: brb, having an identity crisis - 2021)

I don't wanna call you dad
When you're hurting the ones that you love
It don't work like that
And I don't wanna call you back
When you're holding onto a lie
And the phone in the other hand
It makes me mad

Don't you make my mama cry
When you come walking in tonight
And don't you make me pick a side
Just have my back a million times
And you don't even try to care
'Cause you won't fight and you won't swear
But you'll still make my mama cry

Superman
When I was a kid
You were my superman
I thought that you could fly
But now I'm losing a hero
I used to know
Now when you hold out your hands
Don't see no superman

I guess I grew up too fast
Barely recognized the face I see in photographs
You want help but you don't ask
I don't really hate you but I hate what's in your glass

Oh, don't you make my mama cry
When you come walking in tonight
And don't you make me pick a side
'Cause you just make my mama cry

Superman
When I was a kid
You were my superman
I thought that you could fly
But now I'm losing a hero
I used to know
Now when you hold out your hands
Don't see no superman

Oh, it's gotta hurt
Falling from the sky
Crashing back down to earth
I thought that you could fly
But now I'm losing a hero
I used to know
Now when you hold out your hands
Don't see no superman
