Cara Lorraine - Superman's Fall

Okay I'm sorry
Not really
I gotta survive
That's what they tell me
But I don't think it's living if all I can do
Is run with the lightning like a storm's not coming through
I tried my best to explain it
So all I can say is it's complicated
I won't stay waiting for superman
But maybe you could look at me and try to understand

That I can hardly breathe
It takes a lot to see
That there's any good, any life left in me
And I am giving this my all
But even when I fall
You say it's an excuse
Well good God
Who are you to decide?

Okay I'm sorry
That was kind of rude
But if you were me what would you do
If when you fell from a building
And superman came
He let you hit the ground
And said you were to blame?
I know I can't ask you to see another way
Or to open your eyes
All I can say is
You don't have to respect me
But the least you could do
Is try to take my hand and say
"I see you"

Cause I feel like I'm dying
What's the point in trying
If the days just get longer
And harder
And disappear with the waves
Oh I can hardly take it
There's only so long I can fake it
And I've already tried to escape it
So tell me
Who are you to decide
Decide
Oh you, oh you

Why does the sun get smaller every day?
All my aches and all my pains
Collect in my heart and in my brain
Oh why am I tortured by love and life itself?
Let me die with my dreams on the shelf
Forgive me
Forgive me please

So maybe I need my priorities straightened
But you're not the one who gets to weigh in
Cause if superman won't save the day
When someone takes a fall
Why would he come after
Or even come at all?
I know I'm not perfect
Not even half way there
But I'm trying my best
And the world knows I care
There's nothing left of me to give
I'm barely here at all
So maybe just this once
We let superman take the fall
