Hey man, I'm Superman!
I don't need your help
I'm superhuman, dude,
I can look after myself

Didn't you know that even Superman can die?
That he puts his head in his pillow and he'll cry?
That sometimes in the middle of the night,
he'll close his eyes with his x-ray sight
and think of the injustice in the world,
the evil plots that have been unfurled
and the hurts and the pain and how life is unfair?
That he wished he was anywhere, anywhere but there?

I don't need your pity
or your sad smile
I just want to be alone;
just for a while

Can't you understand
that my mind is strong?
That I'm helping myself,
and nothing is wrong!

There isn't a thing
anybody could say
They wouldn't understand
what I feel everyday

However, I'm alright
I'm fine, I'm okay!
I know what I'm doing
I keep the hurt at bey

Didn't you know that even Superman can die?
That he puts his head in his pillow and he'll cry?
That sometimes in the middle of the night,
he'll close his eyes with his x-ray sight
and think of the injustice in the world,
the evil plots that have been unfurled
and the hurts and the pain and how life is unfair?
That he wished he was anywhere, anywhere but there?

I don't need your pity
or your sad smile
I just want to be alone;
just for a while

Don't worry about me
I'm Superman, dude
You think I'm a wussy
and that's pretty rude

Was that what you were thinking?
When I looked in your eyes
they said I couldn't handle it,
that you thought I was shy

about what's going on,
why I don't return calls
I need isolation
and empty halls

Didn't you know that even Superman can die?
That he puts his head in his pillow and he'll cry?
That sometimes in the middle of the night,
he'll close his eyes with his x-ray sight
and think of the injustice in the world,
the evil plots that have been unfurled
and the hurts and the pain and how life is unfair?
That he wished he was anywhere, anywhere but there?

I don't need your pity
or your sad smile
I just want to be alone;
just for a while

With nobody there
to pester me so
much that I cringe
and want you to go

I can't think while you're there
standing so quiet
The silence between us
a deafening riot

I can hear the question
in the back of your mind
But hey, man, I'm superman!
I'm one of a kind!

Didn't you know that even Superman can die?
That he puts his head in his pillow and he'll cry?
That sometimes in the middle of the night,
he'll close his eyes with his x-ray sight
and think of the injustice in the world,
the evil plots that have been unfurled
and the hurts and the pain and how life is unfair?
That he wished he was anywhere, anywhere but there?

I don't need your pity
or your sad smile
I just want to be alone;
just for a while
