I'm No Superman
Breaking Hearts, Facing Realities: I'm No Superman by Luke Perry
Lyrics
I didn’t want to end it over text
I chose not to end our relationship through text messages.
But you were so adamant, I’m sick of this
You were insistent, and I'm tired of dealing with this situation.
I didn’t wanna hurt you
I didn't want to cause you pain.
But I swing on the other side
I have different feelings or preferences, perhaps related to sexual orientation.
You, you knew that this was just experiment
You were aware that our relationship was an experiment or trial.
I won’t, I won’t apologize for ending this before your eyes
I won't apologize for ending things in front of you.
Get too fixed on the future that we’ll never have
Don't become overly focused on a future that will never happen between us.
And you tried so hard to shit on my name
You made significant efforts to tarnish my reputation.
I’m not innocent, but we’re both to blame
I acknowledge my faults, but both of us share responsibility for our issues.
And I tried to bury it, yeah I tried to bury it
I tried to suppress our problems, to no avail.
Just to make amends
Attempting to reconcile, but it wasn't sufficient.
But it wasn’t good enough, never was it good enough
My efforts to mend things were never satisfactory.
I’m no Superman
I'm not a perfect or extraordinary person.
You know I’ve heard the things you’ve said about me
I've heard the negative things you've said about me.
Like how you called me a fag because I broke your heart
You used derogatory language because I hurt you emotionally.
How brave of you
Sarcastically acknowledging the courage it took to say hurtful things.
To say that shit to all my friends
You spoke negatively about me to all my friends.
Did you think they wouldn’t say a word to me?
Your assumption that they wouldn't tell me was incorrect.
I tried my best to play it nice, you told me more than once or twice
I tried to maintain a positive relationship, as you indicated.
That you were cool with being friends, then played the victim
You claimed to be okay with being friends but later portrayed yourself as a victim.
And you tried so hard to shit on my name
You continued to make efforts to damage my reputation.
I’m not innocent, but we’re both to blame
We both have faults contributing to our situation.
And I tried to bury it, yeah I tried to bury it
I attempted to bury our issues, unsuccessfully.
Just to make amends
Striving to reconcile, but it fell short.
But it wasn’t good enough, never was it good enough
Despite my attempts, it was never sufficient.
I’m no Superman
I'm not a superhero; I can't fix everything.
And you tried so hard to shit on my name
You persistently worked to tarnish my reputation.
I’m not innocent, but we’re both to blame
We share blame for the problems in our relationship.
And I tried to bury it, yeah I tried to bury it
I tried to bury our issues, but it didn't work.
Just to make amends
Attempting to make amends, but it fell short.
But it wasn’t good enough, never was it good enough
Despite my efforts, it was never enough.
I’m no Superman
I'm not a superhero; I can't fix everything.
I’m no Superman
-I’m no Superman
