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 swooping in
Death of a hero, I'm hanging up the cape
And you, you gotta save yourself 'cause I can't save you

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 wandering
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 anymore, anymore

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 swooping in
Death of a hero, I'm hanging up the cape
And you, you gotta save yourself 'cause I can't save you

But I do know one thing though
Give a grand, they gon' need one more
Saturday through Sunday, 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 through Sunday, yo

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 swooping 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

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 swooping in
Death of a hero, I'm hanging up the cape
And you, you gotta save yourself 'cause I can't save you
