Superhero

I'm waiting around
For you to come and save me
I'm waiting for you
To set me free
I've been waiting so long
I can barely remember
How we used to be

Now when we talk
It doesn't feel the same
I've been waiting
But I guess I only have myself to blame

And if I wanted you to save me
Maybe I should have let you know
That I needed saving
I locked myself away
And now I'm fading

So I'm asking you now
Fly up here
And get me out
Of this burning building
The jail cell of my mind
Save me from this tower
We'll leave everything behind

For a year
I've been pining away
You're always
In the back of my mind
You're the goal
I can't seem to obtain

And when I'm with you
I act like an idiot
For once I can't think of a word to say
My heart gets in the way

And if I wanted you to save me
Maybe I should have let you know
That I needed saving
I locked myself away
And now I'm fading

So I'm asking you now
Fly up here
And get me out
Of this burning building
The jail cell of my mind
Save me from this tower
We'll leave everything behind

I'm going to jump out this tower
Please catch me when I fall
I never asked to lose it all

I guess I can save myself
I never asked for your help
And I guess that's why you never came at all

Can you see me desperately
Can you come to save me

So I'm asking you now
Fly up here
And get me out
Of this burning building
The jail cell of my mind
Save me from this tower
We'll leave everything behind

So hang up your cape
I never asked you to be my superhero
I only asked you
To set me free
