I met a superhero once He was actually a dunce He tripped over all his words When he’d talk to me for once He was paranoid, insecure, always looking over his shoulder At first glance, you’d think he was agitated bolder But even though I didn’t understand what he was going through I stayed with him, to be a friend What else was I going to do And after being with him frequently I finally understand He was distant because the entire world was in his hands His only job is to save it twice a day He could never take off his disguise He’s a fragile state of mind depressed and anxious, with a side of fries And every time he flew away It’d make me want to cry Because nobody knows superman without the shiny cape And I know the person who’s just begging to escape I know the heart of glass Now in the ash because he dropped it in a flash But superman's kryptonite might actually be his past Don’t laugh I told him there was only one thing he could do Because I once was a superhero And maybe you were too The pain in his eyes was too much for him to hide I showed him the pieces of the heart that he dropped in the sky And surely he started to cry A superhero is strong and mighty Something everyone wants to be But sometimes the strongest superheroes Are the ones we do not see Sometimes superheroes are depression with a cape And to save the world we live in Superman has to take a break
