Superman
Unveiling Heartbreak: Race Ricketts' Powerful Anthem
Lyrics
Left alone with scars and and a broken heart
Feeling abandoned with emotional wounds and a shattered heart
Despite all your debts I’ve paid
Despite all your obligations, I've taken care of them
You don’t look me in the eyes when you lie no more
You avoid making direct eye contact when being dishonest now
And try so hard to save face
Struggling hard to maintain a positive public image
You’re not half the woman I thought you were
You're not the admirable person I once believed you to be
Behind those lips there’s teeth
Beneath your outward appearance of beauty, there's something harsh or unpleasant
So take a bite, I’m gone tonight
Take a chance on me, but I'm leaving tonight
Before you cut too deep
Before you cause too much emotional pain
Woah
Expressing a feeling of awe or realization
Woah
Expression of realization or astonishment
I’m sorry I don’t fit your plan
Regretful for not meeting your expectations
But darling I’m no Superman
But I cannot fulfill the idealized image of perfection like Superman
I’m no Superman
Reiteration that the singer cannot embody Superman's qualities
I hope love finds you the way it found me
Wishing that love reaches you as it did for me
And holds you the way I did
And supports you in the same way I did
You can’t hold back from the man in the mask
You can't resist the charming facade of the mysterious figure
And the pretty words he said
And the attractive words he speaks
Hope he shows himself to be the one true hell
Hoping that this deceptive person reveals their true harmful nature
You never thought you’d see
Something unexpected or unpleasant that you never anticipated
It’s always your own medicine that tastes the worst
Your own actions or behavior when reciprocated are most painful
And hurts more than it treats
Inflicting more pain than relief, similar to taking bitter medicine
Woah
Expression of realization or astonishment
Woah
-I’m moving on the best I can
Moving forward in life as best as possible
But darling I’m no Superman
However, I cannot embody the qualities of Superman
I’m no Superman
Reiteration that the singer cannot embody Superman's qualities
Well time goes on and we go with it
Time progresses, and we age along with it
And we get older too
Our experiences grant us wisdom and maturity
Opened my eyes and made me wise
Realizing that I wasn't the right match for you
That I wasn’t right for you
I dedicated myself to you but ultimately wasn't suitable
I gave my all until I gave too much
I gave my utmost until it became excessive
And running on empty’s no fun
Continuing when there's nothing left leads to dissatisfaction
Time heals all except a broken heart
Time can heal most wounds, but not a broken heart
The damage done is done
The harm caused is irreversible
Woah
Expression of realization or astonishment
Woah
-I’m sorry I don’t fit your plan
Regretful for not meeting your expectations
But darling I’m no Superman
But I cannot fulfill the idealized image of perfection like Superman
I’m no Superman
Reiteration that the singer cannot embody Superman's qualities
I’m sorry I don’t fit your plan
Regretful for not meeting your expectations
But darling I’m no Superman
However, I cannot embody the qualities of Superman
