I Don't Want To Be Your Superhero xx
xx Back
please don't let my simple ways be the heart of your envy
do not find more within me than what you see in yourself
i don't want to be the superhero in which you've made of me
i am capable of great things, but i can let you down--despite myself

words are words and hearts remain just hearts
anyone can have the gift of making them or the curse of breaking them
do not see diamonds in my decieving hazel eyes--for
they're only tarnished stones that you truly see instead

your words carry me on, but with them i live in fear
i do not want to be responsible for cold hearted failure
all i want is to be here, not praised and endlessly idolized
you may shake your disbelieving head, but all i say is true

do not see more beauty or strength within me
it's just smoke and mirrors, the truth is too ugly to see.
