  • If I could break away
    half of all your pain
    I'd take the worst of it and carry you like you carry me
    You say that you're alright
    when tears are in your eyes
    We're strong enough for this and I need you
    It's okay that you need me
    So put your armor on the ground tonight
    'Cause everyone's got to come down sometime

    You don't have to be Superman
    You don't have to be Superman
    You don't have to hold the world in your hands
    You've already shown me that you can
    Don't have to be Superman

    I know I've been gone too much
    We talk about me too much
    I'm selfish and distracted
    But I'm here, I'm here and I'm listening
    And it's just you and me and these four walls
    And we are only human after all

    You don't have to be Superman
    You don't have to be Superman
    You don't have to hold the world in your hands
    You've already shown me that you can
    Don't have to be Superman

    And oh
    You rest your eyes now, take my hand
    Even heroes fall down now and then
    You can let it go

    You don't have to be Superman
    You don't have to be Superman
    You don't have to hold the world in your hands
    You've already shown me that you can
    Don't have to be Superman
    You don't have to be Superman Writer/s: CHRIS DESTEFANO, RACHEL PLATTEN
