Stopped Waiting For Superman

I don't know what to do
I waited for you
Gave everyone hope that's the thing that you do
I no longer care
There's nothing to lose
Now that I stopped waiting for you

How can I rest my eyelids when I drift at night
We're too anxious in a world to even bring to light
Everything that is wrong but I know I need to switch tonight
On this road I travel on you remain my Kryptonite, yeah
You can put your cape down
Too much that I hate now
I don't want to put that on you
Or anyone for that matter
I'm in charge of my laughter
Didn't expect you to save me
Going off of your pattern

I stopped waiting for the upperhand
I decided that I got to switch to another plan
As a kid it was so hard for me to understand
Looking at the clouds in the sky as they're developing
But nothing comes down down down
Stop waiting for Superman
Keep your feet on the ground
Stop waiting for Superman
We don't need an S on our chest
Stop waiting for Superman
To know some of us are so blessed but oh

We're waiting on something that we need to be
Stop this fear and all these casualties
We all seek someone brave who will risk their life
When love is on the line it's such a Kryptonite
You can put your cape down
Too much that I hate now
I don't want to put that on you
Or anyone for that matter
I'm in charge of my laughter
Didn't expect you to save me
Going off of your pattern

I stopped waiting for the upperhand
I decided that I got to switch to another plan
As a kid it was so hard for me to understand
Looking at the clouds in the sky as they're developing
But nothing comes down down down
Stop waiting for Superman
Keep your feet on the ground
Stop waiting for Superman
We don't need an S on our chest
Stop waiting for Superman
To know some of us are so blessed but oh

I used to call you when I needed you the most
Back in the days before you became a ghost
The symbol of hope
When we could not cope
But I'm okay now, even though you went away
Put the cape down we all wanted ways to escape
Can you tell me help me understand
Why you left this land when we needed your hand

I don't know what to do
I waited for you
Gave everyone hope that's the thing that you do
I no longer care, there's nothing to lose
Now that I stopped waiting for you
I told myself that I can
On the day I stopped waiting for Superman
