Can I be your superhero?
You take the light with you when you go
You're not coming knocking on my door now
I tried to lie and say, "Oh, it's so"
'Cause nothing feels the same anymore
I've seen this all before
Why didn't I do more?
Now I'm picking up the pieces from the floor
How could we just ignore our problems?
Now they pour out, filling up the room in silence
Can you be my nightlight?
And I'll be your superhero
Superhero
I'm sorry if it's taken me a while
I'm trying to figure out who I am
These city lights are keeping me up at night
So I don't even bother going to bed
I'm tired of wasting away my time
I would give up everything to be near you
Oh, I miss the days when you were mine
But I can be your superhero
I know I shouldn't call you at night
When I'm here all alone, thinking about the last time I tried
To tell you what my feelings were like
I'm usually not the one that's trying to swallow my pride
Oh my, oh, what you're doing to me?
Ice cold veins, when you cut me deep, I bleed out
I feel like I'm losing it
Oh, why is it so hard for me to breathe now?
Can you be my nightlight?
And I'll be your superhero
Superhero
I'm sorry if it's taken me a while
I'm trying to figure out who I am
These city lights are keeping me up at night
So I don't even bother going to bed
I'm tired of wasting away my time
I would give up everything to be near you
Oh, I miss the days when you were mine
But I can be your superhero
