[Chorus]

I'm sorry I can't be Superman

I know that that's just not in your plans

But you gotta save yourself

I just can't keep swoopin' in (No)

Death of a hero, I'm hangin' up the cape

And you, you gotta save yourself 'cause I can't save you


[Verse 1]

Can't save you 'cause it shields you from the reality of your decision making

I'm a lifeline, not a hotline, I need boundaries and individuation

'Cause I'm wrapped up in y'all's problems, ask Russ, he gon' solve them

But I'm over it, I can't shoulder it, y'all's rock just hit rock bottom

I'm goin' off the grid, Adele said she ain't lost, she is just wanderin'

I'm honoring myself and that's a first for me

I worked so hard to make it work, but it just doesn't work for me anymorе, anymore


[Chorus]

I'm sorry I can't be Superman

I know that that's just not in your plans

But you gotta savе yourself

I just can't keep swoopin' in (No)

Death of a hero, I'm hangin' up the cape

And you, you gotta save yourself 'cause I can't save you


[Bridge]

But I do know one thing though, give a grand, they gon' need one more

Saturday through Sunday, Monday (Monday), Monday through Sunday, yo

But I do know one thing though, give a grand, they gon' need one more

Saturday through Sunday, Monday (Monday), Monday through Sunday, yo


[Verse 2]

I don't hate you, I just don't know how to love you

Without feeling responsible to save you

Deep down I wanna trust you

But swoopin' in says the opposite and it robs you of your competence

And I don't want us to resent each other 'fore it's too late, let's respect each other, oh


[Chorus]

I'm sorry I can't be Superman

I know that that's just not in your plans

But you gotta save yourself

I just can't keep swoopin' in (No)

Death of a hero, I'm hangin' up the cape

And you, you gotta save yourself 'cause I can't save you


[Outro]

I'm sorry I can't be Superman

I know that that's just not in your plans
